I accidentally signed up for a creative writing glass this term at school and it was probably the best mistake I've ever made.

Up until that class began, I had been frustrated. I had a lot to say and -- believe it or not -- free jazz didn't quite get the message across. I felt that the indigence within would never be represented aside from some dissonant sounds.

When I started taking the writing class, the professor helped me to shape my thoughts into words so that I could share what I had to say. While I'm still no expert, it has helped tremendously.

Why do I write? Because jazz is not a universal language. If I want to share my thoughts and have them understood, the written word is the most applicable medium.
