Sleep at Four, Math test at Eight

TIRED.

Couldn't begin to explain the way my body feels today.  

Lack of sleep has had me on edge these past few days, but on edge is when I find my best thoughts from inside the back of my mind.

This Sunday, I had a conversation with a friend at the Green Bean for FIVE hours.
About any and everything thing. We shared POETRY. She heard the my deepest feelings.
VENTING, about SOCIETY... 

 She called me a CONSPIRACY THEORIST.... I guess I cant get mad.

Told me the things I Said went over her head; But my POEMS lack complexity.

Love
isn't complex. 
never fails.
never comes when you want it.
is the only thing in this world that last beyond a life time.  
 

I watched Candles in the Sun by Miguel and CRIED my eyes out last night.

Where has our HUMANITY gone?

When did we become so APATHETIC?

Or do I care too much? who can really say at the end of the day? Perception paints each of our realities, doesn't make mine any less real than yours.  

But its no denying the fact that GROUPTHINK; has turned my generation into Molly using zombies???

  

Fiction Revision

Revision...

Revise?

How do I know what to take out of my paper? What should I now include? What should I keep from the original story? Who should I listen to? who should I not listen to?

All of these are questions that I had to ask myself while working on my revision to the story.

The first change I made, actually came from a lot people within the workshop. I decided to change the name from the day my life ended to Alpha and Omega. I selected this name because its a play on two meanings. Not only does it mean beginning and end, but the story is also about African American Greek College life.

I also decided to put in a few scenes that I had, but took out, and the workshop told me I in fact did need. I decided to listen to a lot of people who enjoy my genre, and  people who I enjoy his or her writing style. I did not listen to people who I has writing styles I cant connect with.

I have a particular vision for how I want things to turn out, and what I want to give to my readers. I figured it wouldn't be logical for me to listen to people who would lead me away from what it was I wanted to give each reader.
