Jun. 23rd, 2009 01:21 pmOkay, so, the reason for the name is as follows:
I wanna be a writer. I wrote a whole essay about it, and one day I may post that.
There's a certain type of style I dearly love to read, one that I can't write. This style sounds gritty, but hopeful; it makes everything sound epic, whether the writer be describing the sidewalk or a scar or the end of the world. I can't do it well, and trying is kind of exasperating.
I can't do purple prose either. Halfway through I get bored.
So instead, I write my own way, and that's okay with me. Well, it'll be okay with me. Someday.
I call it orange prose, 'cause orange is my favorite color. And it's flashy and funny, which I'll do, since I can't do serious and gritty. And that's okay.
