Before going any further, I want to say I am brand new here so If I am positing this the wrong area please kindly let me know.
Furthermore My question is really vague but here is it is:
About ten years ago I first got starting writing recreationaly with my dream of one day writing fictional novels to capture stories that have been playing out in my imagination for years now.
But I figured before getting to that point I wanted to experiment and write about historical events that were either not very well documented from a certain perspective or did not have any surviving witnesses. The reason I chose to do some sample writing about what it must have been like to be there is that as a avid fan of history my imagination ran wild on trying to capture those final moments. As there was either very few, or no survivors to keep those moments alive first hand.
To be clear I had no intention of writing these two short stories I have for any real material gain, just through writing my hope was to expose people not only to my style of writing but to also maybe inspire people to learn about these two episodes on their own. Also maybe even bring emotional resonance to nerds like me who have an interest in historical events.
That being said, I also want to know is this normal? These two short stories I have are just that, short stories, no overall universe construction , no over arching grand opera of characters. Just an individual, a event and the after effects. Short and to the point, make of it what you will.
Has any one here ever started by just penning a few samples down and seeing if your intent was met when they are shared? Or am I alone in do such?
Kind regard- E.

I write all sorts of things, just to get the words coming.
