The Thing About Poetic Vocabulary...  

Posted by B.Ando

I feel like, after a month of Muse Writes and studying various poets, some who use elaborate language and some who don't, I have noticed that my writing has become a bit deeper-sounding. Mostly, I am a prose writer and write horror, so it's easy to skip over flowery prose in order to delve right into the heart of a scary scene. However, this has changed. I recently started writing the first couple of pages of a piece that could be called a dark romance and found that my writing style has dramatically changed when I'm putting my mind to something new. My style for writing more in my older projects remains the same, but when I'm presented with a fresh new page for a new idea I'm finding it easier to make a simple scene seem beautiful through the language I've come to use in Muse Writes. It's a pretty awesome phenomenon and I'm pretty smitten with the idea because now my short stories can nearly double for poems at some points.

I have to say that I liked this post a lot, and it kind of gives me hope for my own work. I also am primarily a prose writer (fiction and nonfiction), and I also write horror. However, I have not noticed this in my own writing yet, but I also don't feel like I'm doing the Muse writes correct because I'm still not grasping the reading of it yet. Though, I do find it awesome that it works for you. I'm glad. Hopefully it will be the same for me by the end of the semester.
