I need to elaborate detail in what I write,
I believe this is where I am slightly lacking.
There is this lovely lady I have the privilege of "following"
(now that tumblr saved my blogging "existence")
and now I get a deeper look into her work
and how it has advanced in huge strides I should say since high school;
and even in high school, I remember being blown away by this woman's words.

I can honestly say I have never met a female my age that writes so seamlessly eloquent as she does. I've been wondering why I don't feel like my writing tends to lean toward this type of eloquence. Not that I do not like the things I write because I absolutely love them; I would never write words I did not put my whole thought and heart into. But after reading and loving so much of this lady's work, it is definitely the detail. I think I tend to write too abstractly at times, in a way that I could understand what I was trying to say and I could explain it to someone else but when do I ever add footnotes to the things I write.

I need to simplify things.
Direct and connect with others more through universal experiences.
Strip my writing of individualism and add imagination.
Vivid descriptions.

I can't wait to embark on such a mission.
I can't even remember a time where I became critical of my writing, pin-pointed a type of structure I could work on to make it better.
I'm a child in a toy store the way I feel for words. :)
