Why

I started this to try out a different mode of writing.

Also, I'll be starting my 3rd year at uni soon, and one of my chosen Eng lit modules is Poetics of Surveillance. We'll be reading books such as 1984, and- I think this is a requirement- keeping our own blogs as a surveillance of our own studies.

I guess this is a practice for that- but this blog will deal with the Creative Writing side of my life.

The name for the blog comes from Bukowski quote I liked. I can't remember where I found it:

"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing." - Charles Bukowski
