Born to Write

It's been in the last two weeks that I've really determined that I'm entirely born to be a writer. Writing is that state when I'm fully content, and everything is just... perfect.

And I figured this out because I was suddenly faced with having to write a novel in 3 months. I'm taking a class in school called Integrated Arts. Basically, each student in the class picks an art form (painting, music, photography, etc.) to major in and creates a final project that is expected to express a personal story for a showcase display on January 19. I began the class in September and realized that I had absolutely no such personal story that was really worthy of sharing, and certainly not devoting 5 months to telling. So I decided I would devote my time to something that was personal to me, the environment - create an art project that would raise awareness.

Then, at the beginning of October, my life took quite a turn... I'm not going to get into details because I'm not quite sure if I'm fully ready to share my story just yet...  and suddenly I had a really personal subject to express. I decided to write a novel, with each chapter accompanied by photography.

You'd never believe how painful, yet wonderful it feels to relive some of the worst moments of your life. It's becoming the thing I live, breathe and sleep everyday, and I suspect I will have very strong writer's withdrawl when it is finished but I am honestly SO EXCITED to get it out there.

Anyway, just wanted to show you the cover of it, stay tuned for more updates =)
