I read a lot and I have a lot of story ideas floating around in my head. But I haven't written anything recently. Today I found a disk with the beginnings of several stories I have written on it. I had forgotten all about several of them. I went through and read them all. I was surprised. They were actually pretty good. I liked several of the characters and laughed at the appropriate places. I even got mad at myself once. One story that I had forgotten about starts with a woman cleaning out her grandparents' house. She finds a quilt and a diary that starts "Maddie - June 1, 1932. We buried Mother today." End of what I had written. I have no idea what was supposed to happen from there. I want to know what happens and how it relates to the introduction. I'm going to have to think about this some more and write more so I know.
I usually write for a few days and then get frustrated because I think its no good and then stop. That's why I'm so surprised about how good they are.
