Part Two
Pre-Writing
What is at stake in my writing? Why is it important? Who should care? What does it make you feel?
​
-
Writing about sexuality creates the thoughts of not belonging or fear of judgement. It's important to talk about so other people also know that they're not alone. Everyone should care but not everyone will. #homophobes. So the real question is, who will listen? My mom, my close friends, and people in the LGBTQ community might listen, and Mat because he has to read my writing. :)

What are some of my "and also's"?

Queer woman

Genres:
-
Interview, humor, descriptive
​
What do you want out of your site visit/interview?
-
I want people to see that you can still be happy in a place that you don't always feel welcome/accepted. That sounds kind of contradictory but I think it's possible. With my current Sherley Hall community, I'm not as open with them but I still love them.
