So the other day, instead of getting my work done, I banged out some poems. These were more poems from my Presidents of the United States of America poetry project, which started as poems about one album, then turned into a small Chapbook, and has now become, in my mind, a full-blown book of poetry called “Repeater\/Deleter : A Two-Sided Love Affair of Dominance and Submission”. So I wrote some more of them. Then I thought about what I’m actually doing.<\/p>\n
Is this a project worth continuing? Is this something I want to bring to fruition? And if it is, is it something that should be my, I dunno, thesis? If I’m going to create an entire book of poetry anyway, it does make sense to double dip. Less stress, etc. At the same time, while I think I’m a fairly decent poet most of the time, I feel like I’m probably stronger writing fiction and things of that nature. Full-blown prose. Or at least Microprose<\/a>. Uh, I mean, Microfiction. Anyway, if that’s what I’m better at, then that should probably be what my thesis is, right? As that will follow me in later academic endeavors, and I’ll want my best foot forward.<\/p>\n I so don’t have this whole Master’s degree Academic Track thing planned. I’m just going with the flow. Sometimes I come upon questions like this, and I worry. But I should just keep going. Keep flowing. What I should really do is, probably, show most of these poems to someone, like Karen, and see if she thinks they’re worth pursuing.<\/p>\n Or I could just go get more of my classwork done. That would work, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So the other day, instead of getting my work done, I banged out some poems.
