Poetry Videos/Vlogs

As you may know, (if you follow this blog) I recently posted a my first VLOG…(you can watch that HERE) and in it I stated how I wanted to get back into shooting videos and editing. Since I graduated I have really just been more focused on the writing portion of my interests. But this year I wanted to reacquaint myself with the act of telling a story through moving images rather then just through words. So as a way to combine my two passions of writing and video, I decided to take a few of my poems that have already been featured on this blog and transform them into Poetry Videos. So I hope you watch and I hope you enjoy!

So a year ago today, I sat down at my computer and fighting all my insecurities and fears about writing… michelleleighwrites was born. I didn’t know what to expect, and didn’t know what would come of it, or what my blog would really be. And to be honest I still am not quite sure what I want it to be. But never the less it’s been something that I’ve really grown to love. It’s served as an amazing outlet for my writing and my creativity and I only hope that it’s brought something to those who read it as well…all of you out there in cyberspace, I thank you for coming along on this journey with me.
