It took forty years, but I'm finally writing fiction for the first time (6/25), and it feels amazing. I may have to keep looking up where you indent and how you quote, but even that's kind of fun in its own way.
I used to love writing before academia made me hate it, and it's so much fun to be enjoying it again.
My writing leans political because of where America finds itself right now, but I'm going to try to branch out and write about other themes and topics, too.
