My personal essay, My first real instrument is about when I first got my guitar, my feelings about, and what my desire was to do with it. My audience is the reader, it wasn't myself. What I wanted to do is make the reader understand how I felt about the guitar especially when I first got it, and I think that my response to the dialogue in the story helps in that it adds a nother dimension to my feelings. When I started to write the essay I was going either express how difficult it was to learn guitar or express my feelings about playing it and learning it for the first time. But when I started writing it, I saw that there was a gap between trying to write about how difficult it was to learn to play and writing about my disapointment with it. So I really decided to try and merge the two areas into one. To do that I had to make a stronger setting or intro and in the middle of writing the intro, I knew that in the end I was going to be sacrificing either of the two areas- them being either the difficulty in learning the guitar or my disapointment and feelings first recieving it- especially since I was writing in chronological order. But I decided to take the chance and try it and I ended up liking it in the end. I still think I couldve wrote more about the later part of learning to play the guitar but the thing is with that is that, it could get boring. I mean I might be able to write in interestingly but too complicated since I would have to be trying to express music in words- and would be even more difficult since at that time I was just learning how to play music.
I'm going to start a little experiment. Many people (myself included) believe writing allows additional introspective of life and ones self than ordinary conversation...but I have to go now. Later!!

Any information that might raise the stakes? I was wondering what exactly it was that you didn't
"want" about the acoustic? WHY didn't you want it? Was it just that you wanted something else - or was there another dynamic running through there?
And hey, how come you don't have link to my blog?
