- Well, for the longest time, whenever I tried to write anything, whether I
- did it long hand, or on a computer, I would never finish. A couple of years
- ago, I took a year off from school for financial reasons. I was working
- third shift at a local hospital, and just to keep my sanity both because I
- was seperated from all my friends, and just being bored on the third shift,
- I started writing, in long hand. Since then I've kept a notebook with me
- at all times, and whenever I get an idea for something to write, I pull out
- the notebook and start writing. Later I transcribe it to the computer, and
- do a little refining on it as well.
-
- I have at least three stories going now, and I'm considerably saner.
-
- I haven't published anything yet, but then of course, I haven't tried.
