Reflective LetteR

“I am dependent upon writing to unearth my greatest pleasure, my deepest insecurity, and my innate curiosity. It is my art form. It is my possession. And it bears my nakedness. It is the means by which my feeble bones and bare back are exposed.”

Writing is a rarity in a world of chaos, uncertainty, and unpredictability. It offers me serenity, stability, and a sense of belonging. Exploring my talent for writing has been my exploration for self. Its purpose serves many. Writing is my written expression, my oral expression, and my unspoken expression. It is a way for me to finally gain a sense of ownership over what I see, how I feel, who I touch, and what I hear. It allows me to let you see what I see, feel how I feel, touch who I touch, and hear who I hear. My passion for writing comes from my knowing that no other art form can bring my readers to where I am.
My website, Confessions of a Novice, has been just that; it has served as an unlined page for me to acknowledge and declare who I am as a writer. The creation of my website is the greatest treasure that I am taking away from my experience as a writer. It represents so much more than just my style, voice, and capability. It represents who I am as a student, and more importantly, who I am as a person. Each component of my website represents components of me. My blogs reflect my passion for reading, my desire to make sense of the world, and my need to have my voice heard. Their consistency and precision represent my dedication to writing and my commitment to bettering myself as a goal-oriented student. My Twitterive represents my journey for truth and my openness to change. My Oral History represents my courage to expose deep-rooted pain, and my Collaborative Research Project represents my persistence for validity. My hope is that I can inspire with my confessions.
What follows is “my story” in creating three seemingly different pieces of writing. Two of the following three pieces are the most creative, original, and innovative samples of my writing throughout my experience as a college student. Here, you will get a glimpse into the process and inspiration for my final products. They are as follows:
