This is where you will find a memoir i plan on expanding upon in the future. The memoir is about a unhealthy relationship i once had where i learned many things about myself from going through it. This first piece is short but it helps you get an idea of why things were unhealthy and maybe to some will provide an insight into my life, my mistakes and my successes. My biggest difficulty with my writing has always been writing dialogue. this is because i have such a problem picturing people talking and their tonality through text. In this piece it was easier for me since it was based off of fairly solid memories. I think i also painted myself in a negative light in this to try to make my audience dislike me. I don't know why this is. It's just how i felt when i remembered the memory. While writing this i was sick, occasional miserable, stressed, and sometimes joyful. I think mood is an important note to think about when reading someone else's writing because even if you know the tones in the story you don't know how they felt while they wrote it. I don't have many blogs related to this but they would be a poetry blog i once wrote and a analysis on Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants". You can also look at the assignment sheet i had to use to understand the rules and limitations i had in writing this first memoir although any other ones should be unlimited in terms of school rules and limitations. Finally keep in mind the writing is very raw and personal so read it carefully and be discreet if you ever wish to discuss it with me or peers. thank you and enjoy.
