I can't explain why but maybe it had something to do with all the S.K. I absorbed in my teens and early twenties, or my fascination with the Living Dead movies. Maybe it was the stalker I acquired when I was sixteen and seventeen that made things more real to me as I got older. It just creeps me out now that I'm...well, not twenty anymore. lol But as therapy--that's a new twist for me.

Sometimes you need that outlet.<br /><br />I kept journals in my youth and wrote poetry. I've penned a few shorts, but tend to lean toward full length novels nowadays. Doesn't mean I wouldn't possibly write some shorts again if the mood struck me.Taryn Rayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111240475586597010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944046112216378689.post-58973047943639672472012-06-05T11:55:44.369-04:002012-06-05T11:55:44.369-04:00I write romantic short stories.
