I'd like to say i grew as a writer. That being said most of my growth has come from realizing that I am not so much for a good writer. i suppose admitting you have a problem is the first step. I think my style of writing has a lot to do with my philosophy of why i write. i believe writing is a journey and readers are hitchhikers. The key i believe is to get them to stick around. existentially thats wat my life is mostly about as well. I used to be very in your face whether you like it or not, all at once balls to the wall right away. And due to my own insecurity in writing I have definitely drawn back. at first it seemed sort of smug giving people just a little bit because they can't handle the whole thing but the more I read and the more I write, I realize that i keep most of myself rationed based on the idea that most people don't care enough. why waste the finger work of typing an essay no one cares about. more and more of me is desperate for someone to be interested in the way I write so that what i write can be read in its entirety because people want to stay on the journey with me.
My target audience seems to be mostly women but I believe my writing is very minority oriented. I don't think I exclude white audiences but rather open up a tiny window for people to see what the world is like in a practical sense. without throwing numbers statistics, cries for sympathy, or resentment. I believe I am writing to American readers. Most of my journey and the basis of my worth is determined by a set of standards in this country. The entitelment i have is based on the basic rights and way of living that I believe all people should have in this country. I realized that based on my class, education and country of origin that many may not understand empathize or sympathize with what my struggles and accomplishments have been.
