This blog has three post categories: poetry, fiction, and rant. It’s been quite a while since I last used poetry or fiction. I once considered myself a potential serious writer of poetry/fiction, but eventually I realized that was not the direction my life was taking. After all, try as I might, I never could come up with a good plot for a story—or even a full plot, for that matter. And poetry… it just fizzed out. Unfortunately, I also stopped ranting, which is always good linguistic practice. I did not view it that way back then, as I took my English proficiency for granted.
For the briefest moment, after writing that last sentence, I wondered if I should try my hand at poetry again. Most definitely not. The sensibility, if I ever had any, has disappeared.
