I've taken to writing short stories the last year or so for fun and have found it to be very therapeutic. Perhaps a better term is enjoyable. After several years of having to write research papers for grades, I got burned out on writing altogether. Now I'm spending more time jotting things down in random fashion only to go back later and assimilate the chaos into a logical pattern that means more than what is obvious in the words. Some are about daily life, but some are simply about dreams that were so vivid and compelling I had to put them to words.
I've submitted one or two to a colleague that has reviewed my ideas and writings the last few years, and I think I'll take the advice given to me. I'm not too sure that is such a great idea; however, because some folks may read into them too much and others not enough. Cryptic, but that's being honest.
I think I'll test the waters in the coming weeks and see how it goes.
