I've had a story on my mind since the beginning of this year that I've been meaning to write down and share. This is where I briefly flash my almost-english-degree and metion something about creative writing. Anyhow, I realized this month that the story can be told in two different ways and now I have trouble deciding which to choose. (sleepless nights, calculate my local time)
Bluntly put, this story can be put in either a completely fictitious background where the character hasn't changed nearly as much as the environment has, or one in which all background and reality stays unaffected. Only here the character realizes that in holding on to his own value system, he has completely dislodged himself from society, his environment.
This could be a dark work of fiction or some other type grim survivalist story. I have yet to see which one will be more interesting. At any rate, thinking about it keeps me busy at times when I have too little going on to keep my tricky mind occupied.
How do you feel about writing? Done anything recently?
