Of Writing Style Changes and New Topics

I pretty much started my former blog, and this subsequent website, with the intent of delivering fiery analysis on the horrors of U.S. government policy or American culture, yet it has grown into so much more for me. I’ve learned things about my writing style — assisted by the education I am receiving in my Creative Writing 1 class — that let me understand how I’d like to expand my writing experience. A lot of the writing I do is very logical or analytical , yet I’d like to do more expressive emotional work too.

This isn’t to say that I haven’t had passion or emotion in my writings on gay marriage, or the war in Iraq, but I’d like to engage in writing that is more creative than re-creative — to borrow a term from Rita Mae Brown — or, in other words: I want to write porn, inspiring fictional tales of intrigue, and other types of work that require me to create something new, rather than deal with the real world events that I make use of, after the fact.

I’ll still be sticking to the topics I’ve always wrote about on here, yet I do feel this urge to dramatically expand the content of the site.
