Reflection #2

Miller and Hoffman’s writing interest me because they can write personal experiences and convert them into a fictional story. Writing fictional in actual events feels like your writing in a whole new world in which I or the writer can get away from reality. According to Miller’s writing “I needed a fictional place to which I could escape and had neither the time nor the psychic energy for a larger project.” I can relate this quote because sometimes I feel that I can write and create a place where I fit and be myself which out anyone to judge me or anything. “I removed myself from everyone but my closet friends and family.” Miller states this in a way in which she doesn’t want anyone around her but those whom have been there for her, I’ve also removed myself from those who hurt me and learned that being alone with only those that care actually makes a person stronger and through my writing I’ve created a world that suits me.

“Writer’s don’t choose their craft; they need to write in order to face the world and this was still true for me.” Writing releases a person from the reality but sometimes it brings you into the world more than you can ever imagine. Myself as a writer, I get caught up with reality and I turn it into a world where is all based on my reality. It was hard to get away from my work in order to fictionalize my work because it’s based on my reality and sometimes writing reality becomes hard to fictionalize. Also it was hard because some emotions can’t be made up if it makes who you are. Apart of you must always be in my writing because as Hoffman stated “ Every reader can sense the difference between writer who embodies meaning through the events he describes and the writer who seems simply mired in those events,” in other words a reader can tell true or false emotions in a writer just by the way the writer writes In my writing there’s always a part of me because creating a fictional place to get away has to always have a part of the writer’s feelings.” By writing well and carefully and powerful,” I can relate to this quote because if a writer is a powerful writer than the reader won’t stop reading your writing and sometimes my writing can be really powerful or it can be weak.
