I've been loosely outlining writing fiction for a decade or two. I like it, I analyze it deeply, and I feel the urge to create it. But I'm busy elsewhere.

I think pendulums swing around a bit. There was a time where I wanted to read a lot of religious/spiritual stuff. All top-10 religious/spiritual texts to better understand humanity. And then, after a lot of that I got my fill, there was a time where I became bored and pursued more worldly things, fully locked in for a decade or more. And after many years of that I have my fill, and part of me wants to prioritize stories I have thought about for years now. To see if I can transmit themes to others through fiction.

People who compete with me in financial analysis don't inspire me. People who write amazing stories do inspire me.
