I forgot to add that to my post, I also like to write short stories. I am working on a novel (I can hear Stewie mocking me now...) and have been for the past few years. I am stuck because I can't flesh out the hero qualities of my main character. I think I did a bit too much projecting with him and now no heroic traits seem to fit :/ Anywho, I digress... What kind of short stories do you write? Any particular genre? Would you be willing to share any of them?
Most of the short stories surround concepts that I ponder throughout the day. For instance, What would happen to my character if he was suddenly invisible or had the power of telekinesis? I would say that most of the writing is silly and not necessarily structurally correct. I do find myself projecting into the characters a bit, maybe it is a side-effect of grabbing elements that are familiar. The only people that have read my stuff are friends/family. I'm not much a writer in the formal sense, my grammar and sentence structure needs work. Personally, writing short stories is a window of self expression but also an exercise. If you are still interested you can PM me and I'll send you a mobi or something.
