365 Day Challenge [1/20 - 345]

=O

I received very little sleep last night, for one reason or another, that is neither here nor there. Earlier this morning at my 9:25 class, my professor said something that really stuck out to me. Although we were just discussing some of our favorite passages in the book that he had us read (Winter by Rick Bass), I was doing what a writer does (write) and jotted down a slew of notes so that I can remember what was spoken in the class and draw from later (like now) just an hour or so after the class had drawn to a close.

What he said was this... "show don't tell". Now, originally I had thought that this was one of his statements, about senses... with detail and everything else that made what he said, what he said. Unfortunately I didn't write it down and it has escaped my memory, yet shows its impact on the fact that I've dedicated an entire day of my blog to this thought.

the senses quote

and what I had thought about was this...

The end of important content.

As artists, we are always keen on trying to make things fresh, and new. And take in to account now that I'm basically a hatchling in the world of art Literature, actually contributing to it with my own; my resume is bare, I have no publications, therefore I have not achieved giving anything back. I have not achieved being seen as a proper contributor to our world of Literature, through the eyes of those whom have criticized my work for whatever criteria they were personally holding it up against.

..... this blog has become a failure as there is just nothing I can remember that is relevant to what I have begun. I must apologize audience. One of these days, I will go back into his class, sit down, and he will say what he said (or very close to it) again, and I shall pick this one back up! The idea had me raise a question which I wanted to actually forward to all of the Creative Writing Professors in my English Department. This is really a sad moment.
