I wrote A LOT during my typewriter days. Even published a lot. I recently found my collection of stories and interviews, and while it seems like scanning them might be easier to keep them for posterity, some of them I can repurpose. I forgot how much fiction short stories I tried to write. Haven't written many since, but -- I've seen worse. Almost there. Inputting when I find a moment at the end of the day (or feel like it). Am I the only one doing this? lol.

You found a goldmine of stories and interviews to turn into whatever you like, Debbie!

Amanda Michel Thank you. I am digitizing, because, you know. At least if there is a fire, flood, or whatever, I can still have it in the cloud. Also, clearing space.

That's exactly what happened to me with my memoir, Cinema. I started putting it together and thought it was a nice short memoir of my cinema-going and movie experiences coming in at around 10,000-15,000 words. It's now more than TREBLE that! I found a mountain of stuff I'd forgotten about. And then I just kept finding more and more and adding more and more to it.

David E. Gates It has to be done, doesn't it? :) Otherwise, knowing it's there makes you not sleep at night.

Absolutely. The Roots of Evil came about from having "found" an old story I'd part-written but never finished. I revised it, expanded it, added to it... and now it has a sequel and will be part of a trilogy!

I believe that all methods that activate creativity and take us out of comfort, are welcome. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
