Screw Skinny-Dipping, It’s all about Skinny Diving!
So, it begins. I am now attempting to be a part of the fast paced, ever-developing online world of expression.
As a writer, I like to keep things personal. So taking this leap to open expression is a massive step for me… exposing myself naked to the world to view me in my deepest, rawest form.
I feel like I’ve chosen to go skinny dipping, taking my first dive into the Ocean, from great heights (so skinny-diving you may wish to call it!) Yet as a personal obstacle, I am ready to overcome it. I do like a good challenge!
IronicInspirations – this isn’t just a creative writing blog. It’s a means of creative expression containing all forms of art. The inspirations spur from every corner the wandering eye can see; a Coca-Cola can, a social group’s dynamics, the pavement, skyline or passing buses.
Inspirations, mine and the World’s, can derive from some of the most unexpected places and times.
I am not trying to promote myself as the next up and coming writer. I am in no illusion – I have many flaws! I blabble. I am not always relevant. I can sometimes throw up onto the page, without realising what I have even written.
But all my creations are representative of the times in which I wrote them and the expressive journey I have always wanted to embark on.
I love learning, reading and exploring the lives and understanding the way other people work. Not in a psychotic psychological way, but in an exploration into the internal vs external battles that humanity has with the world.
My chosen weapon of expression is poetry, but I love to try my hand at anything, reviews, articles, short stories, photography. I love experimenting.
There is so much to the World that is often lost at the glances we take at it.
Not all of my work is researched or derived from a long interest.
Some of my best writing exists through a spur-of-the-moment urge to explode onto the paper. The paper within my many notebooks where these thoughts lay, be them fact, fiction or an intertwining version of reality.
I wish you luck in decoding my life and hope you enjoy the thoughts and creations that await.
