This place sucks and graduation can't come fast enough

Finally a first blog post out of what, 6? That is somewhat interesting, I've stared at blank screens for days attempting to write something. Hey, I finally found the strength to write something, nothing really big just a poem with a idea I've been wanting to use. I googled my cousin's name to find a racist forum, calling him the n-word and slandering his existence. Most people probably would have lost it right there and reported it but what can I do? There is still going to be racist people who believe that they are the superior race. I'm forced to live with it everyday but I know who I am. Anyways, back to the subject. The poem is using his existence and the wrongs he did but it shouldn't involve his race.
I have started on multiple nonfiction pieces that I'm stuck on because I keep getting sidetracked by other stupid things going on in me life. I plan to at least start on my memoir since I didn't get to finish it last year. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Tune in next time.

Creative Writing 3 So Far

I got started late on some of my assignments but I feel I have caught up. I finally came up with an idea to promote creative writing. I started a twitter account for the class. It seemed like a great idea till I realized that nobody was going to post anything. I wanted people to post their work to share with people or post things they found that were related to literature. I created the twitter a couple weeks ago and I don't think anybody has posted anything. So it's a good idea in theory.
I'm still debating on what to do for the assignment we're supposed to create. I know I want to do something for script writing so I have some time to think about it. I thinking about just teaching a lesson on proper and creative script writing.
Another thing I'm supposed to be working on is revising my NaNo. I'm working on it just not as fast or as much as I want too. So I'm going to start pushing myself with it. I really want it to be good and I want to put more in it. If I wrote the whole thing in a month then I can revise it in the same amount of time.
   allison is pretty.

Late Addition

I was switched into the class a week late because of lazy counselors. But my classes were changed and everything is good now. Coming into the class when I did gave me a late start on things. We have two major projects we need to work on throughout the semester. I've already given thought to this before taking the class. I've decided that I want to spend the time revising and perfecting my book and creating a screenplay for it. Script writing is something I enjoy very much. I'd love to challenge myself to write a full screenplay. Another assignment I have is finding a way to increase involvement with creative writing throughout the school. I haven't come up with anything yet but I am still racking my brain. I do have a couple other more assignments but one that I'm really struggling with is coming up with an assignment for creative writing 1 and 2. I'd love to do something with script writing. Any ideas leave a comment for me. Thanks for reading.    

Observation II

Second Period

   Mr.B has been doing a fantastic job with all three levels of creative writing as expected. I always find myself smiling while I listen to little tips and advice he gives the new writers. In a sense, I feel kind of old knowing that I've heard these things a million times. The other creative writing three students and I are very pleased and excited about the writings we've heard this far.
   Birnstihl is really pushing this slam poetry thing for me which is needed I suppose. I've been spending most of my time thinking of new lines and imagery to include in my poems. Crunch time is near and I'm not nervous, but I'm also not feeling anything, which could be very concerning. Focusing on high spirits and quality writing is what I've been doing. That's all for this entry, sorry not sorry that it's probably not long enough. I love my teacher though.

Second Period

    Today is the second day of second semester and I can't believe the time to be in creative writing is finally here. Creative writing one is full of bright faces, but they are very quiet. Hopefully, this new bunch of students will open up a little. The level two students are funny and really relaxed, which is always nice to be around. Allison and I are the only level three writers in this class period and I love it. I'm very happy our teacher allowed us the freedom to grow and push ourselves in a positive direction. It's always exciting to be with others that share similar interest.
   Mr.B is currently walking around and doing daily check ins. Personally, I enjoy the check in because it allows me to just talk and catch up with one of my favorite teachers for a moment or two. I'm very pleased with how he's helping everyone and talking every detail about the class out. I'm a person that appreciates clarity and that is one of his strong suits.  Overall, I think the environment and tone of the class he has set is working smoothly.

Hi, I'm Allison, and titles are the best part of my writing. Seriously, don't even read the rest. (It's about poetry.)

I'm going to publish a chapbook. I have roughly twenty pages, but I am still editing every poem I have selected. Because I never actually finish a poem. Oops. Anyways, I still have twenty to thirty pages of poetry to write. And I don't know if I have anymore poetry. If I do, it's all going to be angry daddy issues poetry, and I don't want to write that right now. I plan on going back to older things I've written to see if they can be redeemed. I hope they can. I don’t know why I came up with and committed to this project; it seems kind of impossible right now. I’m also really proud of myself though. Attempting to publish the majority of my poetry, which is very personal, is a huge step for me. In ninth grade, I was so shy. I barely wanted Mr. B to read my poetry, let alone strangers. I’ve changed so much, and it’s odd to think about it. Looking back at my old poetry for this chapbook has also shown me how much I’ve grown as a writer. I joke about being an amazing writer all the time, but I don’t like to actually brag. But I will say that I am a much better writer now than I was four years ago. Which I suppose is true for everyone. You have to have a certain amount of confidence to attempt to publish a book of poetry. I don’t know if I have so much confidence, but I definitely have ambition (and stupidity?). Either way, I’m hoping for the best. And I will continue to write superb titles for subpar writing.

NaNoWriMo

On October 31st, I will be saying goodbye to my friends and family. I will be switching my phone to silent mode. I will be locking myself inside my room with my a large supply of pens, notebooks, my computer, and an unhealthy amount of junk food and caffeine. I will become simply a memory to those closest to me.
Because next Friday, at midnight, National Novel Writing Month begins.
For anyone who doesn't know, National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) is when people write the first words of a novel on November 1st and the last words on November 30th. They have an idea and a word goal, and for the entire month, writing is their life.
It's not an easy task. In order to succeed, one must battle their inner editor, which is a difficult war to win, and learn to survive without sleep. It's like fighting a war, except with pens and computers instead of guns and bombs. This is the most brutal time of year.
So, on Halloween night, I will be bidding everyone adieu and retreating into a world of fiction. Society will forget that I exist until I emerge thirty days later, pale and exhausted but with a sense of accomplishment.
