How do you write about writing but not writing? Also, how do you write about writing without saying 'I'? Technically Lena just said 'I' so she just broke the rules. Technically, right now, Lena is writing but shes not going to write about writing shes just going to write. But then if Lena writes about cats and only cats is that writing? Yes, it's writing but it's not writing about writing it's just writing about cats. Lena could write a whole book on cats. Big cats, small cats, medium sized cats...if there is such a thing? But if Lena were to write a book about cats would you consider that a book about writing or a book about cats? Or would you consider it a book about writing about cats. Here's a sample:
There was a cat named Sonny
Sometimes he acted really funny
He'd fart on Lena's pillow
Then look out the window and
And hop around like a bunny.
Lena would be writing but not about writing, she'd be writing about her cat but in writing about her cat she'd be writing but not writing about writing. WRITING.
And also, what kind of cats would Lena write on? And what about this blog? Is this blog about cats or is it about writing, what do you think? Lena thinks it's a blog about cats but Lena's confusing that's why you can't understand her blog or her writing or her cats.
I think that this is writing about writing that is about Lena's cats. I like the way that though it is sentences, it reads like one big run on thought. I also like how you loop-holed the not writing in first person by saying Lena where you would I. The poem about Sonny is a funny quirky little anecdote that I think fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like most about this is, although you mentioned writing, I still left it thinking about cats.
