I’ve been reading Chris Matthew Sciabarra‘s Ayn Rand: The Russion Radical – a fantastic and informative book, by the way – and I’m currently on the section dealing with Rand’s aesthetic theory. Reading about literature and fiction writing got me thinking about my own aspirations to be a fiction writer. I thought I’d share a snippet from my, so far, limited collection of fictional work: “A Desperate Flight.” I’m heavily drawn to sci-fi and fantasy, especially fantasy. This piece is set in a fictional world I have been developing on and off for a couple of years now. I wish I had time to write more, but my academic studies are demanding. I hope to do a lot more writing after I have earned my PhD and especially after I get tenure.
