"None of them knew the color of the sky"

-Stephen Crane, The Open Boat

I'm writing a paper about naturalism in American Literature. It's on Stephen Crane's The Open Boat and Jack London's The Law of Life. I've been reading through some literary journals on both of the stories and have really learned a lot from them. I love how you can read a story once and not really get it, but the more you read it, the more profound it gets. 

I know my stories have not reached this level yet, but I hope to one day be the subject of an essay in a literary journal. I would love for someone to take the time to consider the meaning behind my writing. It is both an exciting and daunting thing to imagine, someone judging your creations.

Well, I am going to put the laptop up for the night and chill. I hope you all have a great night!

Finally!

Finally put some poetry and short stories on the website. I hope you all enjoy reading them. If you have any feedback, please feel free to tell me, I am open to suggestions and healthy criticism!

Today has been wonderful for me. I feel like I am actually working hard to do something I love. It's a great feeling to put so much effort into writing. I used to write so much that I could barely feel my hand. There were a bunch of notebooks and pages lying around my room with ideas and story lines scribbled upon them. I can't wait to do that again.
