1. What are your best memories about writing?
I would have to state my best writing memories came with shockingly acceptable delayed feedback. Being a "Slam" Peotry Artist, I aim for that response where the people who look at life in a very surfaced manor to be in awe at the exposure that I bring to the table. This motivates me to keep every character of every word stated as "REAL" (Righteous, Explicit, Aimed, and Luminous) as possible.
2. What is the easiest thing about writing for you, and why?
The easiest thing about writing for me is finding a surrounding to write. My usual places are laying across my bed on my stomach, at my dining room table, or at the park where while my children are playing. These places relax me the most and If I am really into what I am writing something I will text the ideas into my notepad on my cellphone.
3. What is the most difficult thing about writing for you, and why?
The most difficult thing about writing for me is time!! I have a super busy lifestyle. I am well adapted to the word no, however, I will never surpass the word opportunity. Between taking care of my children (seven going on eight) and my grandchild, school, and working part-time, Having time to write my peotry has been an "If I can" situation.
4. What different kinds of writing do you do? Who reads your writing? Where is your writing published or shared with others?
I more often than not implant my creative writing techniques into poetry format. I also write resumes for people as a sort of side job. I often share my poetry with family, friends, and from time to time audiences during performances. My writings are being copywritten as we speak and I have posted some of the in the past on the Poetry.com website and also I have given a couple of top of the head poems posted to my Facebook page.
5. What materials and/or equipment do you like to have on hand when you write? What are these items for? Why do you have them?
I definately like to have a Dictionary or Thesaurus for when I am at a loss for words. Plenty of paper, pencils, a pencil sharpener so I know that the basis of my writing utensils are there. I make sure to have two bottles of ice cold water Nestle purified water and two packets of Strawberry Crystal Light so I can stay in one place and not move around often. I also like to have a blowing fan around because it comforts me.
6. What steps do you follow when you write? Outline your writing process, using a simple, informal outline format.
Ironically enough, my simple steps to writing are to:
*Write original document and read it aloud.
*Revise Spelling chonological and grammatical errors.
*Rewrite the paper and read it aloud.
*Repeat steps two and three as many times needed.
7. Are you a procrastinator when it comes to writing? What do you try to avoid? What do you typically do instead?
Although I am not usually a procrastionator when it comes to writing I do have mt times. During those times I will get other things on my daily agenda out of the way. I kind of use those things as my crutch.
8. What’s the biggest influence on the way that you write? Why does it make a difference?
The biggest influence on the way that I write is the motive that motivates the entry. My influence can be to open up a mind or two, about my feelings on something I have witnessed or experienced,or to write about that movie I just watched. Any reason for the writing is more than a valid for me as long as the catalyst motivates me.
9. If someone else were observing you as a writer, what would they notice? What would they see or hear?
The first thing that a person would notice about me as a writer is that once I am into writing something I go into a zone I don't like to be interrupted. The will see my eyes focused on the project at hand, my neck stiff from being stimulated, and they would hear either a pencil writing or an eraser doing it's job. They would likely, as well, as hear consistant sounds of a fan blowing and the suttle gulps from that cold and irreplaceable Strawberry Crystal Light.
10. Overall, how would you describe yourself as a writer? What kind of writer are you, and why do you say so?
Overall I would describe myself as an overachiever when it comes to writing. I am a project focused individual who is willing to go above and beyond to live up to the expectations of my reading audiences. I say this because I have went as far as looking into social activities that I would not normally look into just to make sure that I please and keep appease with my readers as well as my audiences.
