Hmm... I dunno why I haven't started anything in here. I consider myself a writer (not sure how many more of you vadavakians do as well)....
Anyway, I'm currently working on a story. Not sure how long it will be, but essentially it's stream-of-consciousness about a regular Joe who has deep philosophical thoughts which are almost an impairment... has trouble staying on task because of his wandering thoughts. A bit misunderstood, no one expects a low-class guy to have real insight, and much of it will be about how he got to where he is, instead of being important in some way.
I got the idea from a guy in school. He started talking about deep thinkers, people with important thoughts who convey them to the world. He said their mind is on a different level than say, for example, Joe the gas station guy. It got me thinking... who is to know that some people don't have incredible thoughts, but circumstances just keep them from expressing these thoughts? Might be interesting. I also have other stories in the works... one about a racist guy... another about a naive girl... one about my experience with heart disease... stuff like that.
If anyone wants to read my college essay... go ahead and ask, I'll send or post or something.
