So, I’ve been exchanging emails with Ernie today and one of the things I sent him was a link to a short story I wrote back in 2003. I haven’t read it for a number of years and I read back over part of it today after I sent the link out. While I was reading it, I realized something - I’m a good writer.
Now, I know that that doesn’t exactly sound modest and I may be a bit biased, but really, I think I’m quite good at it. I completely recognize that the story was mostly a first draft and definitely requires some polish, but the nuts and bolts are there and, if anything, I think I’m a better writer now than I was 4 years ago. Moreover, reading some stuff I’ve written makes me want to write more.
So, now that I’ve got you all pumped up and interested (neat trick, huh ;-)) here’s the short story I wrote:
Joes’s Short Life
PS - Please ignore the gratuitous panhandling after the story. I can’t find the original document to republish the PDF and I’m a different person today with different goals and aspirations.
PPS - Thanks, Ernie, for re-awakening this.
