Anyone else like writing stories?
I've been writing stories for years. It's fun to create another 'world'. Something you can escape to. I started writing for fun when I was 12 years old. I just write for myself. I don't share it with anyone really.

Do you think learning a foreign language might help you feel better, as much as writing? It wouldn`t really be much more work and would connect you to other people outside your little community in Ohio. You could talk with people around the world. You might enjoy it. There`s a big world out there many Americans miss by not learning foreign languages.

Why don't you share them with Itaki? if they are great we would enjoyed if they aren't, well at least we make fun of you.

Learning a foreign language is an escape to another world too, which is one reason people learn them. People often have to learn English, unfortunately because it´s been forced on the world as a kind of common currency, but learning a foreign language brings you closer to another culture, other people, and can actually be a transforming experience. As they say „To speak a foreign language is to be another person.“

I've just begun writing again after many years without picking up a pen (I was a big writer in my teens). The first few things I wrote were stilted rubbish, but I think I'm getting back into my stride. Right now I am having fun with a story about a runaway (flyaway?) parrot. :)
I do write with the idea of a reader, not just for myself, but still rarely feel as if what I create is good enough to share. I dream of writing a novel but I might leave it years yet.
I'm glad writing helps you, Alice. Do you read a lot, too? It was my love of reading that made me start writing as a child.

Wow, such ignorance and rudeness from Pawel, I wonder whether I'll ever stop being ashamed of my fellow countrymen and their behavior. And to think someone upvoted that...
Regardless of why someone does something they like, it's never okay to make fun of them, Alice. Don't let his words get to you.
