Creative Writing Goals

In this class, I am hoping to be able to find a way to loosen up my imagination and my long-dormant creative writing skills and let my words and thoughts flow onto a paper. It is much as was said by a poet whose name I cannot remember, but inspired me. That there is so much hidden within a pencil, that the inside of the pencil must be much bigger than we see from the outside. I hope to be able to get other ideas for how to improve my writing from those around me as I review their work, and listen to their ideas.

As for my goals as a writer, I have already started several novels, only about 5 of which I wish to finish. In fact, I had another brilliant idea for one that came to me during our last class period, and I started brainstorming just how it would come together. Your class is great food for thought and definitely a spark to ignite the powder of creativity. I also am a poet, and love to write poetry. I have written quite a bit in my life, modeled after great poets, as a rehearsing of literature, or just as an expression of life. I hope to continue to write poetry as well as finish my novels someday. I hope that this class may aid me in getting the motivation and skill to finish these lofty things that I have begun.
