I read 4:48 psychosis as a teenager and I think it fucked up the way I write forever 🤣 it's a play but it's written in a dreamy sort of poetic format. Whenever I write anything, Sarah Kane's ghost possesses me to leave gaps all over the page. I should probably try to unlearn it, but then again I'm the only one who reads what I write.
So I think I write in prose but it rarely has any narrative or argument. It'd more descriptive. But I haven't much talent for rhyming or for following meters. Someone else here said that for them prose is work. I think I'm the opposite. I'd have to think very hard to create poetry.
