I think I write about a wide variety of themes and plot lines. I thought you may be interested in seeing where they all come from.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mental Health<\/p>\n<p>I commonly use the topic of mental health in my writing because it is one of a few things I can strike a passion for. I love forming a character to represent this illness. I also really enjoy getting to research the mental illnesses I write about. I obviously try to do extensive research before writing the story. There is so much to be aware of in the area of mental health, and I feel like I can show that through my stories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Societal issues<\/p>\n<p>This is another subject I am passionate about. When it comes down to sexism, racism, or just hate in society in general I feel like I have to write about it. Societal problems strike a special anger for me, but I can vent that onto a piece of paper. I feel like there are so many places society as a whole still needs to improve in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Specifically teenage mental health\/issues<\/p>\n<p>It gets technical here, but this is my favorite subject matter to write on. Teenagers do not get heard a lot of the time when it comes to their mental health, or what people call &#8220;teenage drama&#8221; can be serious in the eyes of the teenager. I have a specific, festering passion for this subject. I could go on and on about why I like writing about this topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lighting and sound<\/p>\n<p>This is not a topic I like to write about, but my setting. Certain areas I can be more or less productive. I like it to be in my own personal area, but that does not always mean my room. Take our classroom for example (3rd block). I sit on the almost end of our table but I am not shoulder to shoulder with anyone. I have enough of my own space to feel like I am in my personal area. My room is the ideal place of course. I like for the lights to be dim. I usually sit at my desk with the lava lamp on my desk, and my roommates lamp on on the other side of the room. I like to have 2 sounds going (not at the same time). I either like to hear white noise while I write, or music. It depends usually. If one doesn&#8217;t work I will swap to the other. I like my room freezing at all times, so I can bundle into a blanket. Comfy and cozy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For this weeks blog I decided to write about who, what, where, and everything else impacts my writing.
