Look, I’m not trying to get published in an acedmic journal with most of my work, so I think I am allowed to say this: Analytical writing is absolutely one of the most difficult things and most of the time I hate it.
Yeah I’ll joke as a writer about the fact that sometimes the curtians are blue just becuase I was starign at a blue wall when I was writing a scene. Or how most of the time I’m not looking to make a statement about socio-economic anything when I’m writing, and that the demon is literally a demon and isn’t a stand in for homphobia or societal expectations.
But you know what? Sometimes it IS a stand-in. Even if I didn’t set out to make it that way. So, I thought it might be fun to share a paper from grad school to show the kind of work that goes into a final project. I swear I got like an A or a B on this, and I don’t ABSOLUTELY hate it.
If reading about Indigenous American diaspora (from someone who will acknowledge right away that they are not indigenous, and lives on land that is part of the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, or the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations) feel free to skip the paper after the page break.
I swear, I’ll share some short fantasy tinged writing soon!
