Evolved words. No monkeys here.

As far as it goes with the evolution of my writing, the only major thing that's changed would be my vocabulary. After reading a couple of books by F. Scott Fitzgerald, (The Great Gatsby and This Side of Paradise), my choices of words have changed drastically. It was like a crash course on english, which is really something after having experimental teaching styles for english for three years. I sound smarter than a fifth grader now! Also, as I end my infomercial, I noticed that I've tried to make my work more poetic. I don't want to just bluntly say, "This is Spot. Watch him run." I want to tell Spot's story. There has to be something within the depths of that canine head. Therefore, I've tried working on the flow of what I saw as well as how it's put.

  1. Great start, Kelsey. Tell us more.

    BTW, Fitzgerald has some amazing sentences. Here's one from G.G. "In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars."
