The Unconscious-


-To be a writer is to embrace being in your unconscious and to get joy from being there. A writer must look deeper into the inner world of characters to penetrate the recesses of human nature.-

Exercise #1: Free your Repressed Memories.
-Take a few minutes with a piece of paper, in a clam, quiet area (good for writing in)and think of all the things you've written. the more personal ones, like stories and books. Now this exercise is to bring up why you write, your deeper, inner purpose for writing. Think about one specific thing you've written and think about what you were feeling when you wrote that. What was going on in your life and how things were. When writing you should enjoy it. A sign of a good writer is when time seems to slip away and when you look at the clock its late and you're shocked at how long its been. Now, I will do this exercise and to be quite frank, it's rather personal. General, but personal, so, I hope you feel a little lucky.

~Books from Past Memories~

-Thirteen Black Hours- I wasted a summer fighting with my best friends. I was particularly mad at one person and when I wrote this it was only going to be a one shot. Also, in my childhood I was often picked last, and I was actually very quiet. I kept to myself and just did as I was told. And I was ultimately alone, and that brought me to write about how I (Hayden) felt like the world was crashing down on me (him).

-The Unseen- When I was younger I didn't have imaginary friends, but I always felt watched, but not in a strange way. As if a relative or guardian angel was there. (I know that sounds unrealistic.) Again with my childhood, I wasn't cool, and it was always wanting a friend. I (Slate) wanting to feel apart of something, whole and real again. I often, (and I still do this)Try to impress people and am seeking for positive attention. Praise for my art or writing, or my stupid humor.

- The Job- I am still writing this, but as I continue with the story, my repressed emotions unfold onto the paper. I never knew my one uncle. One is bed bound and the other was shot in the face and killed.I'm always wondering- What if i knew him? And when I saw a picture of him sticking his tongue out in his service uniform I said- "He'd be a cool uncle, the kind that buy you things and take you places."
Robert Baits (In personification of me) never having a real family, picked up off the streets. Feeling forced to do something and forget the past and be a hitman. Not feeling human for not knowing and wondering What if? constantly.



I thought this might be a good exercise considering all the craziness that's been going around. In other news my dog, Bart hasn't been feeling well, he's had 2 seizures and now he is wheezing and we r hoping its just a cold or bronchial thing, but I'm prepared for the worst. I have so many things to do, school work, art, reading, writing. I will get to everything as promised (Ally).

That is all for now, I hope you took some time to do this exercise.

WAS.

P.S.- Send me a comment of what you've come up with. I'm a big girl and it would be nice to see and know what your inner self is feeling when you write.














-When you write, you are supposed to be the character, feel what they feel and live, breathe,, eat, and sleep like them. Then you can truly write a good piece.-
