Roy, thank you for sharing this with us. I’m right now working on my masters and dealing with academic writing and the possibility of publishing a piece (although at this rate… shooting myself would be easier to do). Your friend Alex is correct, since I have started my graduate studies, I have found that my creative writing (observations on the world, poetry and fiction pieces)juices have become almost non-existant. As for the publishing… who knows. Maybe we can all work together to find an answer in getting ideas out there. And yes, like you, I do tend to find my ideas outside of academic journals :) Thank you so much for sharing.
