After more thought on what we talked about in class in regards to the current idea for my project, I decided to change things a little. There were a few reasons for the change, not having a clear way to show the reader that the poem was continuing among them. However, I would have to say that my main reason for changing up the idea of the narrative was the fact that I didn't want to use a poem. Frankly, I wrote that poem six years ago, when poetry was still something I was mildly interested in. Now, I don't aspire to be a poet and I can't believe I ever did. I realized I couldn't feel good about the project unless I felt good about the writing at the heart of it, and it didn't matter how easy using something I had already written made the project for me.
I decided to rework my idea. I knew I still wanted to use the hands idea, incorporate some of the ideas that Adam and Jenny had brought up in class, but add elements of time and somehow, I guess because when I think of hands, I always picture my husbands, also add the element of a relationship...? I kept thinking about how....
