The new graduate newspaper launched this week and we got great feedback. People really seem to like it! And my review got a great review :) and so did my anonymous rant!
I used to aspire to be a writer and a poet once, but then my high school teacher informed me that I wrote like a mathematician. I somehow sensed it was not a compliment, she said I followed a formula when I wrote and lacked style. After that I hid all my books of poetry and stopped typing up my short stories I had written. Maybe it is time to rediscover my work. Actually, one of my poems got published last year, so I have gotten a little more confident in my poetry. The only problem with having it published is that my parents insist on showing it to all our family and friends when they stop by. I tried to hide the book but my mother always seems to find it and she forbids me from removing it from the house.
I think that is my main fear of publication is that others will read it. On the other hand I want to get my stuff published so I can reassure myself it is not absolute crap.

I am a complex system of paradoxes it seems.
