CREATIVE WRITING
A CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS...
The following is a collection of creative work I produced largely during my time in Copenhagen, Denmark in the Fall of 2016. Engaging with this genre has been one of my greatest challenges and triumphs. I have found that I am always thinking of new ways to tweak these stories, and always have in mind new narratives to begin. I hope you enjoy this ever-evolving collection.
THE COLD
COPENHAGEN, FALL 2016
During my time in the freezing tundra that is Scandinavia, I found myself writing dark pieces to challenge myself creatively. This short first-person narrative holds a psychotic man at the center-- a character inspired by infamous names like Patrick Bateman or Perry Smith. As a student of psychology, I am fascinated by the experience of abnormal psychology-- it was natural that I should attempt tackling this challenging genre, with a bit of artistic flair.
THE BLACK PANTIES
COPENHAGEN, FALL 2016
Seeking creative inspiration whilst living among the Danes, one morning I decided to (inconspicuously) follow a stranger around a local grocery store and take notes. After this, I wrote a short story which gave my character, who I later called Ida, context. Her story is one of tragedy, triumph, and Whole Foods.
