WIP ask list, #1 and #3

1: Summarize your WIP in 10 words or less.

A vampire and her slow descend into madness.

3: Does your WIP have a title? If so, explain its significance. If not, what are you calling it for now?

The Dawn. So I decided to call it The Dawn because theres a strong symbolic relationship between new beginnings and the dawn. My MC goes through a lot of internal conflict through out my short story and at the very end the sun is rising through the window and because of her choices she has to start her life all over again. I kind of used it to represent cleansing and renewal, with a new day is a new life kinda thing.

Response to free verse #1: I enjoyed the cynical perspective shift you made when speaking about the mythical gods, so often they are portrayed in a good sense that when you try to understand their stories from a different perspective than how you were told to at forst it truly makes you think of not just their stories but of the world and history in general. - Sarim

Thank you. I rewrote that poem so many times because the vibe was off. I’m glad you like the twist I put on it!

[writers-craft101]

What would you say is one of your biggest sources of inspiration?

I think it depends on what I’m writing. I like writing about what I know and love. My short fiction piece was about vampires because there’s so many different aspects of the supernatural that amaze me. I also did a poem based on Greek mytho. Ever since I was little I’ve been interested in it. So I would say my biggest inspiration is the things I read that interest me.

Non-fiction exercise #2 (Honest)

Sometimes I’m too honest. Sometimes people need somebody who will sugar coat things and help them feel okay, but that’s not me. Sometimes I feel bad about that, I want to be there for them, I want to make people happy but my words don’t always come out right. 

I went to a work party as my friends date once and it was nice. Their company had rented out a banquet hall and there was an awards assembly, food and a photo booth. I met their other friends and I thought the night went well, they thought it did too, or so they told me. I later found out that my anxiety of going to an event where I only knew two people out of the hundred or so that were there, showed. The uncomfortableness of the situation made my bluntness come out.

Their coworkers thought I was too “rough around the edges”, I was too stubborn, too opinionated. I was too everything, too much. My friends didn’t feel the need to tell me, but I still found out. When I first found out it hurt, my whole life my mother had raised me to be strong, defend myself and speak my mind. Being a girl didn’t matter, the virtues I grew up on were honesty, commitment and loyalty. 

You’re going to meet people in life with different values then you, these values may even clash. What’s important is that you stay true to yourself. Even though people may not like your personality, personality can’t be changed. Your personality is who you are, it is your habits, it is your likes, dislikes, how you react to things. Personality is you and you is great. Don’t let anybody tell you you’re not enough, or you’re too much because you are perfect just the way you are.
