Some of my teachers used to read my stories to the class because they liked them and wanted to share them. I used to write a lot when I was younger but kind of stopped in my thirties.

Do you still write? Are you a professional writer in some capacity?

And if not, do you have any regrets?

What did you write?

I find it interesting that you were good at creative writing and science and computers at the same time. That´s usually a rare combination.

Aw thank you, I was not very good at computers, but music & computers, where we could specialize in guitar or keyboard, while using a midi system for recording tracks. I wrote a lot of songs that time and performed one at a holiday assembly, wanted to be a singer that time lol I got into social work as a career but yes I do still write. I’m involved with several poetry communities in North America and have had some poems published this year, which in a way felt like a childhood dream come true! Thanks for asking! What about you, did you get into writing as well? It’s never too late to go back to it [Edited 9/18/21 19:19pm] [Edited 9/18/21 19:20pm]

I used to write this and that up until my late 20s, early 30s, and after that I occasionally wrote stuff for friends, for example short biographies for their album releases etc. but I stopped pursuing a proper career in literature because I felt like I had nothing to tell, or rather, I don´t really have an audience, and I lost a bit of my vanity, drive and ambition and started questioning my motivation.

I did publish a short story , which was published in a short story collection in book form and was read on the radio, and I had dreams of writing screenplays but these days I´m barely able to fulfill my duties at my job, so there´s that.

Maybe I should start writing again.....it can be therapeutic.

Wow that’s awesome you could write short stories! I wish I could do that, was better at it when I was a kid but now I just stick to poetry. I’ve also been on the radio for my poems. It’s never too late to go back, I myself am trying to write a stage piece but it keeps sounding like spoken word and better suited to poetry. Maybe you can write a stage piece too and try something new, you may surprise yourself, even if it means going to another environment to write [Edited 9/19/21 16:19pm]

Thanks for the encouragement and your kind words. I will definitely think about it.
