My name is Brittany.
I'm starting this blog for a couple of reasons. First and foremost I really want to discipline myself to write daily so that I can work on being a better... well, writer! :-) I'd like to be an author, columnist, journalist, or screenwriter one day. Basically, anything that lets me be creative and use my words to express that creativity. I've haven't decided what my approach to this blog will be yet or what I'm going to try and say, but I promise its development will be very interesting. Hopefully you all will enjoy it just as much as I enjoy writing it. Consider this entry to best represent the writer, short and sweet. :-)
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all nobles pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, 'O me!, O life!... of the questions of these recurring of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish, what good amid these, O me, O life?' Answer. That you are here- that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
