Pen and PaperA little while ago I had discussed a birthday card I made for Reiko, as no other card seemed to say what I wanted to share.  The good news is that Reiko loved the card, and the words within.  The odd news is that Reiko has recently suggested that I start writing again.

Creative writing has always been present in my life, and it’s usually been well received.  It strikes me as odd, considering how most of it is just random words tossed from the fingertips and arranged in no particular order … kind of like my non-angry blog posts :???:  But throwing caution to the wind, I’ve decided to start sharing some of my writing from the last few years.  There’s quite a bit of the early stuff that’s lost forever, including the one and only short story that was published back in 1994.  Hopefully, though, old archives will surface over time and I’ll have the opportunity to convert those old WordPerfect files into plain text for easy uploading.

You can read some of my writing from the new Creative Writing page.  As more stories and poems are written, I’ll add them to the index.  Perhaps in a few years time someone will think the collection warrants a publication and I can see my words shared around the world in printed format, rather than digital.

Let me know your thoughts on the work.  If everything is terrible, I’d much rather pull the plug now and keep my writings private.  If some things are decent and others are horrid wastes of internet space, I’d like to know that, too.  I don’t expect to make any money from the content, but it would be nice to know that someone out there thinks that some of it is worth the read :)
