Creative Writing Monologue

Great Essays
Obligated and constrained, I felt like I needed to share. Vacant and emotionless was my voice. When I opened my mouth I wanted to close it once more and never say those words again. The smell of metal and wood making me queasy and the sound of the bland chords emits vexatious emotions. Creating something you hate is beyond bothersome. Scott had given me writing assignments and I wasn’t trying that hard and winging them. I felt guilty slacking off. He was a really good music teacher and had done so much for me. The thing is I just didn’t have any inspiration. My days were all the same, just repeating the motions, life was very vanilla. I always loved writing but I never knew exactly how to. I didn’t know how writing should make you feel …show more content…
This thirty minute ride seemed like ten minutes . Looking down and looking back up again, we are already out of the town where I was surrounded by buildings and other cars. Now I am surrounded by nothing, just fields and a boring scenery. I see the silo and the one turn on this highway which is as straight as a crystalline structure. This is the turn to the studio. Resistance and dreadfulness consume my body. He is going to hate this song, like I do. He is going to tell me I can’t write. Should I just give up? I hesitantly open the squeaky door and drag myself down the stairs. The staircase and all the way down is dark black with the padding that you see is rooms to cancel out sound. I usually find the environment comforting, it’s all about music just like my life. But right now music wasn’t on my side. I find my way to a seat and get out my guitar. He tells me he wants to hear this …show more content…
By the end of the song to my surprise he tells me he likes it. Though that makes me feel a bit better and less like an object to judge I still don’t feel anything from it. He blows off my comments about me not liking it and tried to reassure me that it’s good. “There is a concert at the park down the street next week, let's have you

    In the twenty-first century we tend to distract ourselves with technology that keeps us from taking the time to genuinely think, or rather that is what twenty one pilots want you to see. “Car Radio,” written by Tyler Joseph of twenty one pilots, is based from a personal experience Joseph had where his car radio was stolen and the experiences that followed. It, and the associated music video, produce the argument that we need to spend more of our lives in silence rather than surrounded by sound. The rhetoric of twenty one pilot’s “Car Radio” is effective because of emotional appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos. Twenty one pilots establish their credibility by placing themselves in a place of power and control in their music video for “Car Radio.”…

    Sometimes, I feel like my hands are going to fall off, but I consider writing to be more of a necessity, rather than a fun, recreational activity. I also feel an almost soothing and calming feeling when writing. This probably stemmed from all the times I spent looking at the sky in my first writing class. My favorite part of writing is the feeling you get when you find that really good thought and can just keep writing without thinking. Pretty much, the feeling where your thoughts are able to flow straight onto the page.…

    It was a cold, winter morning. The frigid air blew as I turned to pull the handle on the door to the main building of my small high school. After entering the doorway, I dragged my feet across the floor and trudged through the empty hallway. As I peeked through each of the door windows, I saw nothing but dark, empty classrooms. It was not until I looked up that I noticed one lit room at the end of the hall.…

Although learning new things, like writing, was something that I loved doing in elementary school, that all changed when it was daily implemented. As an art form I recently come to love writing down my thoughts, ideas, opinions and stories.…

    Development Scared, nervous, and unhappy would describe how I felt about taking a college English class.
