   I've been emerasd in life and a creative writing class, here's some of my work as a sample.
J-6 ("On Writing")

" Rip it out, try again. Crossing out an unwanted sentence seems so mundane. The only truly effective thing to do then is to begin anew: an entirely blank, unmarred scrap of paper that will soon bear the scribblings of yet another of the heart's gushings. The impossibility is in the balance; the difficulty is in the subtlety, accuracy, and expression. Here the words feel too heavy, too much an obstacle to cover the depth of the topic; there the words thinly cover the page; the complexity and depth are lost. Wade through the endless sea of words (submergence yourself in them!) to find the few right, and perhaps(through pure chance) you'll emerge from the inky depths victorious. You might (just might- that is) find yourself with a clearer vision than when you began your voyage, and then (and only then) it will have been worth making the plunge.

There is nothing more lovely than that- the breath before nib meets paper and the cycle begins again.It is that flow of ideas to paper, the push-pull accept/reject: creation."
