I picked up writing again.  I figured it was about time.  My main goal is to write small articles to sell.  But I also had a story idea a couple of years ago that I wrote down buy never got to finish.
Writing is a great way to creatively get rid of frustrations, anger, sadness, etc.  I loved writing stories since I was old enough to hold a pencil.  It was my way of relating to a world I didn't quite fit into.  A way of releasing frustration of being a child that was not quite understood.  I loved it.  It was the same way with books.  It was a way of escape for me.  I had friends in books.
Sad isn't it? 
Then I had an English teacher in high school that loved my writings. He actually took the time to read them and made comments on what I wrote.  Someone who saw a lonely person with talent.  He encouraged me immensely.
Every spare moment I had I would write.  I still have most of them too.  Stories that I started then gave up.  My problem is is if I see the ending of the story, I get bored with it.  I know the ending, why finish it?  I have to break out to that habit.
The one that I am writing now...I have no clue of the ending. Actually I don't know what direction I want to go with it.  I'm still in the early stages.  But I will not figure out the ending til I am there.  Maybe I will be able to finish it this time.
