I'm thinking right now about just posting some fiction pieces I've written over the last few years and mostly never shared. They're mostly not done, and a lot of the longer things were written several years ago and would no doubt come out differently now. But I've probably written over 100,000 words of stories in the last 5 or 6 years and haven't done anything with any of them because of depression and discouragement. I feel a need now to at least put them out in the world somewhere, because they feel dangerously inert just sitting on my computer, exuding rays of "no one will ever see this and it was a waste of your time."

If what I've written has been a waste, or isn't polished enough for public consumption, or is just plain bad: okay. That's okay. I'm not a professional, and like so many of my creative endeavors, I've put the energy I could into writing before being swept away by a tide of self-loathing and day job labor. You can read it or not. This isn't a free country, but you can at least choose what you point your eyes at some of the time!
