Am I breathing life into this board by posting this stuff, or is each thing I post another nail in its coffin?
Anyway, I've begun writing fiction in this writing group I'm in. Been writing westerns for some reason. I hate westerns and this gives me a great feeling of freedom when writing them.
But I wrote a very short, two page story, humorous yet violent. I was hesitant to read it because it was about murderous children. It seemed rather offensive. So I didn't read it and just sat and listened that day.
One guy who's about 90 wrote a story based on Norse mythology that started with Odin raping a couple of elves. An Jewish guy wrote a story based on some bit of Jewish folklore about Lilith, Adam's first wife who now flies around the world murdering babies for some reason.
I realized I should be more insensitive. I read the story the next week and pretty good laugh out of them.
