    Welcome to another author writing routine video! In this one I tried Sylvia Plath's writing routine. This routine was incredibly simple, laid back and by the end of it I almost felt like I didn't try another's person's writing routine 😅 I did enjoy making it and had a lot of fun reading my favourite quote from Plath's THE BELL JAR and also MAD GIRL'S LOVE SONG, which (aside from PRUFROCK) is my favourite poem.
    Hope you all enjoy the video 💛 Here are some other writing routines in the series:

    What I loved about how this routine was filmed is the fact that you shared poetry and passages from her writing, I think that really makes it feel like being close to the writer, not just their routine.

    The poem featured in this video 'Mad Girls Love Song' reminded me of the scene in the show Dickinson where Emily (as in Emily Dickinson) and Lavinia travelled a hundred years into the future and met Sylvia Plath. In the scene Sylvia recites a part of this very poem. You can find it in the youtube video titled "Emily tells Lavinia she loves Sue Dickinson season 3 episode 7". The whole series is amazing.

    The form of 'Mad Girl's Love Song' is a Villanelle. The rest of her poems are generally classed as verse poems, for she rarely (if ever) wrote prose poems.

    The Bell Jar hit me like a ton of bricks. And I agree we shouldn’t reduce her life to the way it ended. I struggle with mental illness issues and there are days when you feel completely defeated, but in other days I love life or find it just okay. And I think this might also be the case for people who chose to end their life. They had good days, made beautiful things, had people they loved. Not to diminish their struggle. But I find it sad that a rich life sometimes get’s boiled down to the way it ended.
