I have a bit of a problem
I sometimes start a story, but don’t know where to take it.
As of late, I’ve been producing lots of beginnings with no middles or ends. It seems grad school has halted my creative endeavors for the moment and yet I have so many stories feverish to escape.
I’m not sure what I hope to accomplish by sharing these beginnings with you all, but I know that if I hadn’t shared them I might have imploded.

Any suggestions?
