10 Facts About My Prose Posts
I’m going to be honest, this is kind of an eclectic collection… have fun reading and thanks if you make it to the end!
1) One of my favorite short pieces that I wrote is titled “What Happened When I Met a Fox”. Every time I read it, I’m kind of surprised I wrote it!
2) I have written a few pieces about working at a Starbucks kiosk because work is taking over my life right now.
3) One of my favorite series that I wrote (and haven’t done in a while, which hopefully will change soon) is my Music Monday series because I love how music inspires my writing, whether it’s in the form of poetry or just my thoughts on a lyric in the song.
4) Adding on to #3, the main reason I started writing this series was to train myself to start writing on a more regular and consistent basis. It worked for a while… until recently.
5) “Amelia” is an excerpt of a story that I had written, which was inspired by a challenge here on Prose from a while ago (That post is called “Death’s Options”). The challenge was essentially about the meeting between the recently deceased and Death, and it made me wonder what if the afterlife wasn’t at all what we all think it is.
6) Continuing from #4, I have written a few other pieces that also relate to this story called “Duty”, “The Dream” and “Thank You”. I’m trying to get back to work on this piece because I love how it’s coming together, but the editing phase is pretty rough right now.
7) I tend to write stories and it’s what I would always write as a kid. I didn’t like writing poetry, but ever since I joined Prose, I’ve been enjoying writing poems a lot more than I used to, which is why I’ve been writing a lot of poetry/ why I tend to choose more poetry challenges.
8) My post “Who or What am I?” is something I wrote back in either middle school or high school and then modified for the challenge.
9) I wrote a post around a year ago called “A Late Night Thought” about when I had pneumonia as a kid, and how that affected me afterwards. I never talked about it with anyone before, not even those who are close to me because I was afraid of sounding crazy and like I was overreacting.
10) I wrote two pieces called “The Woman and the Stars” and “The Girl and The Monsters”. I liked how similar they seem to each other style wise, and it inspired me to create a series of poems that connect the two. I haven’t finished it yet, but as of right now, I have about five poems in the series including the two I previously mentioned.
