My
revivability of writing was actually begun last semester when I started MfA
after the long absence of words in my bachelor school. Parts of the credits supposed
to go to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, which came back to me by the hype from
the film, and George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire that regained my
reading habit, which also influenced on my writings later. (Tolkien was always
the one who influenced me in writings since I was young, but that time it was
Thai translation of his works. This time, it’s direct response by his words.)
I
never really have much problem with writing itself in the first place,
especially considered that my monologue usually in English. (I have a strong
habit of talking to myself out loud, which draw strange eyes from people
sometimes…) The usual obstacle’s what to write, as I used to have no clue of
what to write about my works in the past, since they were all thinking visually.
But when it comes to how I write, it appears to me the same with speaking, thinking
out loud, just with different medium, one with vibration of vocal cords, one
with movement of hand.
Anyway,
the result of that was the writings I wrote usually appeared in the only style
of free writing and interpretative writing which is my current practice. The
class did expanded types of writings for me to write. Different workshops
introduced me the new boundary, to know my new scope. Also let me know how to
summarize and analyze the readings. Previously, I usually read for pleasure, so
I didn’t carefully do those much often even though I did some analyze on it.
The
expansion also totally helped me in current practice, since I’m working on
writings and trying to introduce a new kind of writing myself. I am able to see
the distinctions and elements of each kind of writings in order to reflect on
my own writings.
