REFLEXIVE WRITING

 reflexivity: the embodied researcher; looking at yourself looking in the mirror.
How are YOU affecting your work, a way to approach interpretation as the same part of the same whole as the same truth. 



Reflexive: introspective/self-reflection, looking at your own implication in a situation while creating the text; the influences absorbed and presented ,decisions and effects
in the creative process, how and what it says of who you are as a writer in this frame of time

STRUCTURE- 
HIGHLIGHTS SALIENT POINTS
This essay unpacks the creative process of my two poems titled () and (), on the focal point of conception, implementation, and revision. The selected revisions in turn will be expounded under the framework of reflexivity.
-Working with a voice and tones that fit the intention of the poem

OUTSTANDING KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIAL: INNOVATIVE AND ORIGINAL CONTENT
ANALYTICAL CONCEPTS, FOCUSED ARGUMENT

OUTSTANDING CRITICISMS TOWARDS EVIDENCE OF EXISTING DEBATES, - line in poem, struggles, decisions, before and after in drafts, MHRA citations of references, influence, inspirations

Process of writing for both poems

                           SIN 
meek measures taken     a muted mug  still tinkling as i swill   
at each pill      a pause      i listen to its tune thinking before i swallow
sing    play    yearn     notess     pool silky refrain hold
two drops                of sweat glistening on soft dunes of skin
eerie tingling ache unsurfaced held
release in the k  e  y    
    o
      f      
         
              G               

(3: reframe poolsilky refrain hold interpreted as drink/liquid. Revise.)
(4: juxtapose liquid with sweat—image parallelism)
(5: foregrounded padat)
(6: weaker, play on space not constrained within a line to exaggerate )
Redundancy does mean stagnancy and lack of progression e.g. pause meek muted
(1: tinkle connotations)

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night.
