The drafts helped me put something
down on the paper even if I was not fully sure of it. I was able to leave it
and come back to revise it and polish it up. New insight attracted me. I never
knew I had so many things to write about that could al be interesting to
someone else. I have a filmmaker’s craft in writing. The structure of my
writings is organized in scenes. I
write in a first person and third person’s perspective. I like to show things
from different angles so that’s why I write in that perspective.
I’m direct and indirect when I
write. Sometimes I write things for people to know from the beginning but then
sometimes I want them to figure it out as if they are watching a movie. I would
want them to figure things out at the end but keep them intrigue enough to read
the whole story. The audience I write for are people who like to be in other
people’s business. People who watch documentary film are usually the people I
want reading my writings. A creative non-fiction piece should be real. It
should be the truth. I make sure
that I don’t offend anyone and make sure I’m fare. The first thing I wrote about was how a photo could bring me
back in time to realize something. Although that piece was good, there were
some holes. I made my point but I made it too easy for the readers to
understand. I realized that I’m the type of writer that connects past times
with today.
I sit down, eat some food and
listen to conversations about anything. One word may trigger me to write. For
example, for my long essay, I had nothing to write about, I went to see my
advisor about classes I needed to take. He pulled up my evaluation sheet and on
that I seen a music class that I took at a community college. It triggered me
to write about how I was only interesting in music my peers were listening to
but then became in love with listening all sorts of music.
