Blog #1: Welcome to my Blog!

Hello and welcome to my Creative Writing blog! What's this blog about? It is for a creative writing class and it is a place where I can show my writing to the world. Here, you will see a variety of creative writing pieces that I will be posting. It could be a poem, song lyrics, or maybe even a short story.

So..who am I? I'm just a girl that loves writing. I write every day whether I'm writing in a notebook or I'm typing on a Word document. However, writing isn't the only thing I love. I'm obsessed with the color orange. I also love animals, my top two favorite animals being dogs and panda bears. I'm a cross country skier although I wouldn't say that I'm an expert... I guess falling on my face definitely wouldn't count as "pro" skiing, right? Not only can I fall on my face while skiing though, I can also trip over nothing! Yeah, I'm a pretty clumsy person sometimes (or all the time). I am Laotian, my parents are from a country called Laos (It's in Southeast Asia, in between Thailand and Vietnam). I can basically understand most of the language when my parents speak to me. I'll teach you a word! Sabaidee! That means "hello" or "how are you?" depending on the tone you use to say it. Well, enough about me, let's get to a topic that's more relevant.

Let's see..things that inspire me to write? I would say that music is a big part of it. Just plugging in the ear buds and closing my eyes sends me into another world where all my thoughts and feelings become clear. I don't even have to understand the lyrics to get inspiration from the music though. Since more than half of the songs on my Ipod are in another language.. I'd say that 85% of the songs that you would encounter on my Ipod are in Korean (K-pop, look it up! It's amazing! ^_^). Anyways, I kind of got off topic since I'm supposed to be talking about my inspirations. I think that everything inspires me to write. Just thinking about all the emotions that I'm feeling allows me to pick out ideas for a poem or a song that I write.

Okay, I think I let this rambling go on for too long. I'll end this welcome post quickly and painlessly. Thanks so much for reading and I hope you will enjoy my future posts!
