My Life Changing Event
Since 1998 non-fiction short stories, novels, and essays have been my personal preference. Growing up in the suburbs with both parents alienated me from a lot of truth, I always had the mentality that life was a stroll in the park. Up until my parents split and I was figuratively speaking "the man of house". And from that point forward I understood how hard it was to maintain a household both financially and discipline wise . Therefore, I always lean more towards factual stories and writing concerning my personal experiences instead of fictional writing. And because my mother provided all of what my siblings and I required, I tend to be more sympathetic towards women/females. Consequently, I am harder on the males in my writing expecting them to strive towards perfection at all times. Instead of taking the easy way out and putting off the personal responsibilities and duties. This event molded the person I am today as well as what and how I write/topic my personal essays, and other writing assignments.

Wow, its amazing to read how your seasonal experiences shape your writing. Do you notice, in most writing, that the authors are more harsh on the male characters? I can completely understand where your coming from in your writing. My parents were never married, and I was always pulled between two households, and now that my mother and my stepfather have young children, and my dad and my stepmother have young children, i feel like the outsider, like i really have no where that I fit in. I think when I do choose to write, I think the darker side of my writing comes from my past. So I can completely understand where you are coming from.
ReplyDeleteThat is supposed to be Personal...not seasonal...Stupid auto correct!
ReplyDeleteI ASWELL CAN COMPLETELY FATHOM YOUR EXPECTATIONS ON MEN .. AS A CHILD I TO WAS BROUGHT UP IN WITH BOTH PARENTS AND WAS REALLY UNEDUCATED ABOUT THE TRUE STRUGGLE OTHER PEOPLE WERE ENDURING . IT WASNT UNTIL I GOT IN COLLEGE I REALLY HAD TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION AND PUT MY SELF THROUGH SCHOOL.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you on a lot of different levels. My parents also split and I became the man of the house. It was hard on me and my family. Also both of parents remarried with new children. My dad's wife only loves her daughter it seems like. Which isn't far to my brothers or sisters. All in all I really enjoyed your writing!
