My ideas on transgenre

What is transgenre to me?
For me, transgenre is the the ability to set outside the box.  We, as human beings,  often must have the  ability to label. Labels allow us to class. Classification allows us to discriminate. Discrimination allows us to pedestal.  This is a continuous process of the human race.  We constantly look to be able to place things into boxes. Without order there is disorder. Disorder leads to disorganization,  which leads to chaos. As writers we have to ability to stand on that very thin rope we call order and chaos. Our generation has taken huge steps forward in the process of literature.  No longer are we writing in these five paragraph forms. Stories no longer beed a beginning,  middle and end. Character introductions are no longer necessary.  Text are allowed to have holes in them.  The plot is not going to be evident,  you MUST find it for yourself, and evidence might not be the same as their evidence. So far in this program I have read the insane styles of Kathy Acker, the broken narrative of Tea Oberht, the all knowing language of Gertrude Stein and the careful thinking of Jeannette Winterson. Each of these text, among many more have forced me to look at words and meanings differently. I had to detached meaning from words. I've learned ekphrasis style of writing.  Writing so that the words can try and emulate the picture.

The idea behind project 2

My second project is about life and death but more importantly, it is about time. The time continuum has been broken within this text as well as the narrative.  The bases if the story is about my relationship between my grandmother and myself.  However the story starts  at her funeral.  This is a third personnstiry however the second person aspect is added by way of flash back scenes where the reader is put in the driver seat to feel the emotion I felt during other events in my life. The reall kicker is when you transition from the funeral to the death bed because the story is being told in reverse. This allows the reader to ease the pain.
