The Creative Hurricane
You will have to excuse me if my writing is as messy as my desk. I have never taken Writing 101. I know nothing of verbs, nouns, adjectives, past or present tense, first or third person, punctuation, sentence or paragraph structure, where to use a colon: or semi-colon, character development or even spelling. I am cloudy about the differences between simile and metaphor, biography and fiction, prose and poetry. I have been writing and singing my own songs since I was fourteen. I didn’t attend Berklee or Juilliard, never participated in a weekend songwriting workshop with the pros, studied theory or even played the piano. All my creative impulses have arrived exactly the same way: random, unexpected and as a complete surprise.
