Topics
I’m up to my eyeballs in writing assignments…but I’m not complaining. I’ve started an article for Venus Envy Magazine on female castration in third world countries, I’m writing a piece on my Dad on how he was a drug dealer in his teens and twenties and ended up a father and preacher, plus I’m doing a piece for school on odd jobs (I have a friend who is a professional psychic, so I’m going to ask her.)
Well, something that helps keep me going when I’m doing this much writing is to take time for poetry. It’s the most easily accessible way for me to tap into my creative side. I’m sort of at a loss at the moment for topics.
Any suggestions?
Wish me luck!

Some heavy topics–quite a shift of gears to switch to poetry
I’m a fan of the found variety – when I’m stressed – as per John Dos Passos in USA. Either that or I force myself into uncomfortable – but non-academic – structures. I wrote a bunch of “five by fives” and such a few years ago (five lines of five words, etc)
Warm wishes to you this Sunday!
