One of My First Believers in My Writing, Really In Self As Well!

Y’all, i was at a lot of college community colleges and three university’s, but the one greatest professor i had that benefited me the most was at a community college. He also taught at a university night classes. His name is Jeremy, he is at large to thank for me also believing in myself as well.
Now, in creative writing and Comp 1 and Comp 2, I wasn’t writing quality stuff like I am now and honestly everything i wrote back then was BS.
But Jeremy still saw something in me, I was a good student but he still saw something in my writing and creativity that he liked. I am alway honored and flattered and always remember the people who saw my potential. Especially when in a time in my life I was recovering from years of drinking heavily and everything reveling around alcohol.
Now, Jeremy had our class reading lots of poetry especially everything from Frost, Poe, Bukowski, Poe was my favorite out of them. Was always scared to say that because he was so freaking dark and i am such a light hearted person.
But while others were writing like other book authors, using them as influences. I went a different route, one Jeremy appreciated especially seeing he was in a band. I started using musicians as influences to write like.
I will honestly admit I used the lead singer (this will sounds nuts to some, great to others) for Slipknot and Stone Sour Corey Taylor as my writing influence. I started to learn that there rhythm to writing which already felt when you read with music on. But listening to him talk about song writing as well as some other and the musical rhythm songs are written off of, I started making my writing have more rhythm.
Jeremy, saw things in my writing, he made me want to try harder even experiment with stuff (no not drugs writing stuff is what I mean), as well as reading new stuff for quite sometime. Now do I like poetry, I am so freaking embarrassed to say i do I do like poetry. I feel horrible saying that though.
I also in creative writing was a little inspired by a mix of Will Ferrell humor and Quinta Tarantino writing style, they were who I looked at as molds on writing. Jeremy loved this, sometime my ADHD would catch people off guard in class. Sometimes would take off writing quickly after demolishing a tv outside. I came in and was supposed to write something really quick about destroying of the tv and had a certain time from age to do it.
Mine went, something like as i sunk the dagger of that hammer through the skull ,crushing every freaking fiber of it internal construction,, ripping apart its inside to its bloody core now exposed through the front how ugly has come out to show its face.
My second book will have a chapter on Jeremy and how good he was to me and how much he did for me he did not even know. I honestly felt most the in life like a dumbass until his class.
He made class so enjoyable, he was so fun to be around would wake up excited about going to school. Y’all, my life has shrank over the years in many aspects and felt to much to bear. But taking a step back at time has opened up so much and made things so much larger.
Jeremy, he is a rugged looking bearded wild eyed, tattoo, sleeves rolled up, button up shirts American spirit smoking and exercise sing all while having time with whiskey. Jeremy is great, man he is great think the world of that man, he has now converted to catholism and began being Catholic, I believe my religion will suite him and his beliefs. He will worry much when dig in deep, but talking directly to.a priest I recommended for anyone.
Take care y’all God bless
