Well, not really stories. More like treatments. All of them unfinished. All of them waiting to be novels. All of them collecting dust on old pages in old notebooks, kept on top of a clothes cabinet in a room.
Actually, I have been writing since I was 12....Quiet, introverted, book-worm, big imagination...that's what it takes to be a writer. Well, some are. I can't say for the noisy ones.
As a child, writings on pages just seemed more interesting to me than people (the same sentiments I have on TV and film as well).
While young, I don't tend to get along with most people. So I write stories.

Older, once I have access on computers, I now type them and save them in a file. Some kept in a broken external storage. I hope to get it fixed someday.
But most are in my email. Saved in draft messages. Fully accessible as long I remember the password.
Still, even in my age, in my twenties, most of them are treatments and summaries. Waiting to be novels, TV scripts, movie screenplays.
I did however wrote my first short story during my high school day. It was not good. I'll probably post it here when I have the time.
Now that I'm older, 25 going on 26 this year, I can think of better stories. Better situations. Better synopses for fiction and non-fiction. I think I can beat the writer's block than before.
However, time management and energy can be an issue.
At times, I feel like a failure (am I really a writer?).
At times I am hopeful I can someday finish one.
