About K.E. Wright
My name is K.E. Wright --Katie, if you like-- and I have been writing since I was quite young. Few things have ever given me more pleasure than stringing together words, whether writing a speech or essay for a class, creating a new world for my stories, entertaining a very faithful friend, or writing poetry, prose, and song lyrics.
All writing speaks to me in its own way, though poetry is one of the things I hold most precious. My poetry tends to be more intimate than anything else I write, so I often have difficulty sharing them with others. I suppose it's because there is no way to make them "safe" for me share and maintain their meanings, though I'm pushing through that fear with a collection of poems I hope to submit this year. I also have greatly enjoyed my personal forays into genre fiction and I find myself dreaming up all sorts of new and interesting plots for those stories, though I have a great love for classic novels, plays, and literary fiction. My first love has always been the language: the words that curl on my tongue, the nuance of meaning, the grammar, and structure. Frequently, I find myself fascinated by root words, word origins, and idioms that have worked their way into our language. I'm not ashamed to say I have written copious amounts of fan-fiction, though I will admit that I had an alternative motive from most. The online communities I have been a part of have always been quite supportive of both me and my works. Through continuous exposure to the eyes of other readers, a inherent investment in finishing my pieces, and a desire to edit and revise and have the very best version available to others,I have grown a great deal as a writer. I suppose I am lucky to have had such variety in my life and to not fear trying new things as much as some do. I experiment a lot in my own writings, take inspiration from interesting or strange places, and write about my own experiences, emotions, and dilemmas --sometimes even while I am in the midst of the struggles. For that reason, I never deny that thousands of pieces of me are hidden in the words I've strung together at one time or another. Still, for my love of language and books and poetry, I've always felt that certain rules of language exist to be broken, that words can often be used to hide the meaning of themselves, and that words are the purest expression of the human soul though I like to proof-read my own. I'd definitely like to hear from you, so feel free to leave comments on my blog posts or on my weekly compositions or to just shoot me an email! Ever yours, ~K.E. Wright~ |
