I have come to realize that an opening post describing who I am and my purpose of being here are essential to the future of my blogging life. Well, here it goes.
My name is Brandi Stevens and currently my life is ruled by four different forces:
- University
- Work
- Written word
- Music
Sounds a bit cheesy, doesn't it? To find myself. How overly used. But how necessary it is! Have you ever read a book and connected so well with the main character that a little bit of their personality rubs off on you and you learn something about yourself? Yes, I believe we have all had that to some degree. But for someone like me, I start to lose myself.
You see, my dear audience, I am an English Lit and Creative Writing major. I wish to produce works of art in the form of words. And I aspire to create that moment of enlightenment for others (or helping them find themselves as well). However, the majority of the time I seem to find myself in a haze of confusion. With so many ideas and characters floating around in my noggin it is hard to keep track of what I wish to do.
Sometimes while I am walking, my mind forms a beautiful sentence that would perfectly describe what my character should be. A sentence so powerful that it makes me jump onto the nearest bench, assume a stance of a victorious nature, and scream "Eureka!" And then when I am able to stop somewhere to write it down, the sentence mocks me by floating away.
By creating this blog, I wish to write a truly worthwhile sentence or critique of the world around me so that I can help clear the fog inside my brain (which is starting to look a bit like Silent Hill). And hopefully I will make a piece (or pieces) worth taking note of or publishable.
These are my tidbits of life and my passions for it. I would simply adore it if you would take the journey with me or pop in once in a while. Mind you, it does get lonely out there.
From your most loving host,
Brandi Stevens
