Serious business... no, seriously  
Of all the things I could be doing right now (e.g., packing), I decided to post an entry.  I'm sure that by the time I finish this, I'll feel all the more fulfilled and accomplished.

I have a sudden desire to start writing fiction again.  It's been itching lately, and I honestly haven't felt very creative for the past few years - mostly due to the whole "law school" thing.

When I was in junior high and high school (oh, so many moons ago), I was constantly writing -- short stories, a never-ending novel, poems, letters, notes, song lyrics, anything I could possibly write.  When I was at work (grocery store in a small town, just as exciting as you're imagining), I would think about my characters and see what would happen to them and consider their reactions to situations.  Their universe was interesting, exciting, and fun -- I could picture it all...and sometimes, just sometimes, it wasn't like I was writing at all.  I was merely a conduit for the story.  Most of the time, even with my constant writing, only a fraction of what I thought up ever made it on a page.  Those were days long before I ever had a laptop, a desktop, or even a word processor.  Everything I wrote was by hand -- in fact, I still prefer to write that way.

Who knows?  Maybe I'll (very timidly) wade into the land of fanfiction.

Thinking about it, I've decided that my second dream job, aside from voicing cartoon characters, is going to be creating and writing a sketch comedy series with my (hilarious) siblings.  It'll be like "In Living Color" only it'll actually be more like "Robot Chicken" in the randomness.  My family?  Hilarious.  But, we also tend to have a really quirky sense of humor -- although, the great thing is that we all have different types of humor.  Some of us are more into physical comedy, some of us do funny voices, and some of us are simply random.

I think I'm on to something...

As you already know, I would fully support your venture into the land of fiction. Honestly, I've never met someone with such an excellent grasp of the English language who didn't write. Stick with the status quo, missy!

(I'm guessing I fall into that "random" category, eh?)
