Fiction

I'm thinking of getting back into writing fiction. I did it back in Chicago and it was very cathartic for me. I belonged to an exceptional writing group that really encouraged each other and gave honest, but not brutal, critiques. I may start a group like that here. Writing is one of those things that you either really enjoy or you have to do it because somebody told you to. I enjoy it; my degree is in professional and technical writing.

What has really inspired me to get back into it is reading fiction again. I just came out of a dry spell where I didn't read much for a couple of years. Then a friend told me about The Eyre Affair. It intrigued me a enough to read it and I fell in love with the classics all over again. I have since read the subsequent two books and thought they were all brilliant. There is nothing that compares to reading a good novel except writing your own creative work. I highly recommend it

I may create a writing log on this site as a way to keep myself honest.
