Writing and Literature

I can finally apply the word “work” to my incessant scrawlings and have it mean something. I know how to better navigate the recesses of my own mind and plunder it for caches of inspiration. My final body of work for the course relies upon my own life and ego frequently, something I was once insecure about; but if I can’t write about myself then what business do I have writing about anything else?

I embarked on this course three years ago because all I have ever wanted to be was a writer. My life is built around a love of stories, and I draw solace from writing the world as it seems to me. I can say with certainty that this course and the people in it have shaped me as a creative in ways I never would have been able to shape myself alone.
