Evolving

What could you do differently?

I have tried to experiment or write my poetry differently, so many times. I’ve tried angry diss track type, I’ve tried dark poetry. I even tried writing the kind of rhyming same number of lines per verse Hallmark style poetry.

In the end it’s not about doing things differently, it’s about learning what your strengths are creatively and playing to them. I’ve not done things differently I’ve just learnt to push myself outside of my comfort zone, to take risks, while evolving as an artist.

The ONLY thing I’d maybe do differently, is to start on this path earlier than I did (2005) who knows where I’d be then.
