So now I know I’ve really retired. I’m not only reading fiction, something I hadn’t done in years, but I’m actually preparing to start writing it again.
The last fiction I wrote was about 16 years ago! That was when I did NaNoWriMo. I’m not planning on taking on novel writing just now though.
Really it’s just a way of productively using time between meals. LOL 😝
But you know, something truly useful to others could come out of it. While I’m certainly not a good fiction writer as I sit here right now, I know I’ve got that talent now dormant. I started winning writing contests at 13 and continued even at my Ivy League college.
I’m going to join a short story writing group and see where it leads. I have the time to let my skill mature now.
Eventually I think I do want to do novels though. I want to create worlds of inspiring possibility that are actually believable, worlds my readers want to never leave. Worlds that beckon them to create those possibilities for themselves IRL.
Well that’s the plan for this week anyway. We’ll see what next week brings.
