Writing and Photography

Post by zygonjon »

I enjoy writing short stories/novels (though I never finish the novels, the most I've ever written of one is 30,000 words)

I also like photography - my photos can be found here:

I love reading but could never write a book, I have read too many and would end up picking the best bits and re-writing, not enough original ideas in my head :?

Have you had any short stories published?

How do you think up and create the characters? Are they (losely) based on people you have known? I am always amazed how someone has that imagination to really develop characters in stories and they become real people in your head as you read it.

Jon, love your photos (especially the black and whites).

I have dabbled with poetry and writing in the past, but just don't have the time anymore.
