Well, for the longest time, whenever I tried to write anything, whether I
did it long hand, or on a computer, I would never finish.  A couple of years
ago, I took a year off from school for financial reasons.  I was working
third shift at a local hospital, and just to keep my sanity both because I
was seperated from all my friends, and just being bored on the third shift, 
I started writing, in long hand.  Since then I've kept a notebook with me
at all times, and whenever I get an idea for something to write, I pull out
the notebook and start writing.  Later I transcribe it to the computer, and
do a little refining on it as well. 

I have at least three stories going now, and I'm considerably saner.

I haven't published anything yet, but then of course, I haven't tried.
