i used to fancy myself a writer, mostly of poetry and very short stories. When i was 18 or 19, it seemed like a very good idea for venting, and i have several binders of unpublished poems and a few novella-type things. No time for it nowadays, unfortunately. Looking back on it, it's all pretty much "i'm so sad, the world's confusing" sort of stuff
Well, now i write science journal articles. Published or in review, but not widely read.
What kind of work do you write? i think coming up with a believable universe through words is one of the hardest sorts of arts...so all the best to you!
