Process Statement

I wrote this in response to the 2016 presidential election. It was a visceral response to the anger, and heartbreak I felt in the months that were to follow. I was planning to write a poem for a TAG (Theatre Arts Group) showcase I was producing, so I decided to write a stream of consciousness to jump start my ideas. A stream of consciousness (SOC) is a writing method I use to allow my thoughts to run from my hand to the page uninterrupted. Most of the time this leads to random useless thoughts, how does purple mix with gold? I may have turkey for lunch today; however this time around I was full of rage, and what typically would have been a 5 minute writing session became 40. Though I'm not entirely sure what to classify it as, this is a piece of what productivity came out of that session. Out of the entire document this is what I pieced together once I cleared my head.
