It helps me when I am blocked, out of character or need some inspiration to keep writing. The stories never make it into my novel, but one day I hope to add them to the book's website as an interactive feature. I like to write short stories involving the past of my characters.

I often get caught up in their pasts and how nuts it makes them in the present, but the future...great point. Need that to bring depth to the character. Nicely said! Great post.
