I managed to find a box containing several of my unfinished manuscripts and pages of several works that I had started in my younger untroubled teenage years. I have to fully admit that I was (and still feel that I am) a pretentious pompous ass who thought that writing grandiloquently is the mark of a good writer. Boy I was sadly mistaken. And even though law school manages to fill my niche for pompous writing, I have to find some sort of outlet to start writing real stuff. Anything I can think of...maybe short stories, maybe a full-fledged novel...
Maybe I can pick up some of my very clichéd characters to continue writing: the swashbuckling sci-fi hero Monk Storm, or maybe the Elven warrior Pelkerion the Axemaster. I still feel they are too mundane, and then again there isn't much originality left in the world, but I'm still in search of that one character, or cabal of characters to write about. I just haven't found them yet.
I'm still searching. Help is welcome.
