it’s not often, but sometimes I get overtaken with an unexplainable fervor to write something specific, for example:
- fanfiction i worked on for 3 days straight, sacrificing sleep…
- the seeds of this digital garden (it’s 2:42 AM when I write this bullet point)
goals
- I’m interested in learning how to write short stories. Their constraints require immense creativity.
- At some point in my life, I would like to complete a fiction novel maybe?
- currently: writing for visual novels
reading
Notable inspo from my reading:
learning
my writing
- maybe working on a new substack about lyricism (music i like)
- maybe a substack on “cannibalism and the desire to be known”
- “the effort of creation”
- my thoughts as an artist in tech on AI and art as of 2024
- The Remission of Man
- analysis of a visual artifact (surrealist photograph)
- wrote this for an intro English class in college, still very much enjoy the photo that was analyzed, I do not think the professor read it she seemed to be going through a lot (trauma dumped every lecture)
- The Effectiveness of Postmodernist Techniques in Portraying the Inhumanity of War
- IB Diploma extended essay that I procrastinated way too hard on… but overall I’m still fairly proud of it! And the postmodernist techniques like self-reflexivity or non-linearity are still very interesting to me
- IB diploma put me through the wringer but it did give me sufficient writing ability.
- Slaughterhouse-Five
- The Book Thief
