L'aura del Campo

Write about ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... ME? Nope.

Write about ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... ME? Nope.

30DBC: We write, we’re all writers. What subject would you like to write about, but haven’t yet. Genre? Type of character? Location? What? Tell me why.

Hard question! I've written so many things in so many ways.

I do have a 5,000 page journal and over 3,000 blog posts (some now archived). I could become serious about writing a quasi-memoir. Just pick out the highlights and discard the rest. My period of homelessness could make a good read for some, as could my traveling.

Writing about ME in an objective way though is brutally hard. Working around the traumas has been tricky. Revisiting them could be troublesome. Plus, once written, would I really want to share it?

I'm a deeply sensitive person and opening wounds isn't a wonderful "fun" option. I'd rather forget and leave the scars and scabs alone.

Of course, I could just finish some other projects... like my "novels"...

A real mystery or sci-fi might be fun. I'm not into historical novels or biographies so that might be a good stretch; but, I'd rather focus on what I've been doing for years to hone my craft: poetry and short prose.
