I woke up this morning with a strange urge to write something poetic. Unfortunately, I can't write down all my ideas while I'm in the shower, and as soon as I'm out, I gotta move move move to get to class or work on time. Anyway, I thought of 2 story ideas, both based on social issues.
One is a poem or short fiction story (maybe 55 fiction) about female body image. The other is a poem for the Words Against Hunger event coming up. I'll see if I can make a slam poem, which will take a lot of focus and editing & critiquing. I'm never a good enough critique for my poetry or much anyone else's. It's not my thing.
But this poem for Words Against Hunger will be a bit different from last year. Last year I wrote about the different type of homeless people one might see and other non-homeless people's various reactions to them. This year, I want to write more about homelessness as a growing reality (specifically because of the economy), fear of what it means to be truly without a home, and maybe a little about a changed perception of homelessness in light of the recession.
Other than that I haven't written anything much creative. Homework zaps all the energy out of me. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to post the long entry I worked on today but was unable to complete. I do tend to have long entries. ^^;
