Writing Mimesis

Thoughts:

After copying down a page of the book I liked, my writing style went from a diary entry to a story telling. I described the scene for a lot longer, and added a bit more flair to my punctuation and choice of words, similar to how the author did. One interesting feeling I had while writing is a sense of detachment from myself, as if I were writing about a character rather than something about me. It made it easier to say more cheesy lines, which made it easier to write in general without thinking too hard about what others might think of me.

Writing Hormesis

Thoughts:

I hadn’t worked out in a while, so after working out writing came a little slower. I felt like I had a fresh pair of eyes while looking and thinking about my writing, however, and after I wrote for a while I got the hang of it and remembered a lot more details of my anecdote. I think I won’t lift weights before I write and instead focus on cardio since my hands were sore.
