"The
aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and
hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it
moves again since it is life" - william Faulkner
My
name is Shelley Wang, and not too long ago, my friend sent me this quote. Not
only do I think it perfectly describes what I feel art to be, but reminds me of
how literature seems to capture the aspects of the world around it, and show a
snapshot of time, to all who read. I always seem to become absorbed by the new
life these books can create.
On another note, I am a Chinese
American girl from California, and I have always had a huge passion for all
kinds of art and my Asian background! Therefore, I’m not yet sure if I will be
joining, but I do love Chinese Culture). There is just something about being
able to create something from scratch and getting so lost into your work that
you are creating. With science fiction writers, I feel as if they have the most
fun writing because they are creating completely different worlds. I think I
would really enjoy it.
My goal this year is definitely to
learn how to enjoy blogging and to become better at written communication! Everything Hopefully, I can therefore quickly
get my points across, and as early-on as possible.
Shelley
