The genre of creative writing that I am most interested in is poetry. I really enjoy reading and writing fiction as well, but poetry is what I tend to write the most. I love that there are so many ways you can write a poem, as well as how much emotion can be conveyed by something sometimes so short. It has always been my go-to when I wanted to express myself or release some feelings that I had been holding in.
My writing habit is centered around finding somewhere that I feel like I am safe or like I can be alone and open with my thoughts and then writing there. It could be while listening to music, while sitting on a pew at my church, sitting at a park, or even at a table when I should be studying for another class. Sometimes, I even write in class if I get inspiration for a work while I am there. It is where I feel that I have the freedom to say what is in my head or my heart without fear of judgment, while also searching for a place that feels calm to me.
