I’ve been hit with a bout of inspiration today (or maybe this has been long coming all month). After working on the nitty-gritty “required” writing of the day, i.e., graduate school applications, I went ahead and started writing a short abstract titled “Raw Opening”. After tweaking this a little, I posted it on my Scribd account and finally decided, “Well, hey, time to upload my new website layout.”
So, after several months of not updating my website: Official Website
It’s a little more simple than last time; can’t go wrong with black & white. I keep thinking that I really need to update my skills in Photoshop and XHTML; my “About” page was giving me trouble in the updating process. It looks a little strange, but, for the time being, it’ll have to do.
The background behind the abstract: really, it all started off from a small Facebook status update while I was taking a break from my applications. The “raw” part comes from two origins:
1) The fact that I wrote this point-blank, with no real edits or anybody else viewing the writing beforehand; and
2) The protagonist’s own raw emotions, slowly exposing themselves over the course of the short piece.
Thoughts? Any constructive criticism and/or praise is welcome as always.
