Why this site works for me

I'm new to Prose. as well. Think about this: someone I don't know read a short story of mine today. How cool is that? I've been writing for fun since forever, but have only recently started to post my stuff. Expressing our ideas is central to who we are as people. We aren't meant to isolate ourselves. Of course, sharing your work with friends and coworkers can be a little awkward. I've shied away from it. Prose. is a great outlet for me. Will I ever officially publish? I guess if I'm very lucky, but knowing that a few people out there are reading my words is good enough for now. Maybe good enough forever.
