Back in 2021, I started to experiment with my style of writing as it was a fairly new interest of mine at the time. I always loved the idea of juxtapositions so I wrote this piece trying that out. Before I start writing any sort of full-length essay or novel, I like to write a basis paragraph to better visualize how the entire piece should look and the vibe it should eventually embody.

"Alia believed that the colour purple was the loveliest colour in the world. Her royal purple jumper not only matched the bruises on her knees but the columbines that scatter along the forest floor, which she had a picture-perfect view of when her mother knocks her down with the crimson bottle. Waking up in the meadows dwarfed the incessant pain in her head; a laceration being present but untreated. A quick glance to the right and she would spot a saucer of whipped topping with strawberries sitting on a separate plate. This was mother’s fine china. An apology. Each piece had rose gold trimmings on the edges, and illustrations of different flora, with real gold filling the cracks of the previous traumas1. Alia is quick to forgive, quick to please, therefore, she feasts on the delicate sweetness of the crème, the flamboyant tang of the strawberries, and the metallic zing of the blood, slowly dribbling from the scene that is her head, onto her plate, and her jumper. Alia loves her purple jumper. "

I knew I wanted the setting to be within something alike to an English Countryside (despite never visiting Europe) so I tried my best to give the reader that visual without explicitly stating it. "The crimson bottle" was a nod to another piece I've written before, alluding to a wine bottle. Funny enough, that other piece was a romance piece which goes to show how flexible wording can be in multiple genres. There are some obvious flaws in this paragraph, things that had gone unnoticed until now (duh it's been like three years), but I believe that makes more even more motivation and proves improvement. It's become extremely difficult to write recently. My mind has gone blank and drawing inspiration from outside sources is something that I find unbearable so I won't be uploading a lot of new works although, that won't keep me from trying.
