I've written a couple of short sci-fi stories that I've been trying to shop around and get published. No luck yet. Also working on this massive fantasy/ sci-fi epic for years, starting to doubt I'll ever finish it..
Its basically a post apocalyptic world hundred of thousands of years in the future, crawling with mutants, zombies, mages, and all that fun stuff. Radiation basically mutated most life on earth and created all these crazy new intelligent species. I've always thought its be fun to make a Tolkien style fantasy, but make it much darker and make a bunch of my own species instead of the typical elves, dwarves, etc.

Writing is really a double edged sword for me, though I'm sure that's the case for most people. On the one hand, it's fun to create your own world and solidify your ideas, but at the same time it's a freakin nightmare. I can never push myself to keep writing, and the few times I do, I'm always revising what I've already written, thus getting nothing done. Theres really a lot of time and struggle to put into it. Not to mention trying to get published, which is a whole nother story..
