Am I right in thinking that writing adventures is my "easy" solution? Do the plot and characters, events and locations and leave the narration and interaction to the players?

I've occasionally tried writing fiction, but (like you) found my attempts to sound . . . really bad when I read over them later. If running games is anything to go by, my imagination needs the spur of interaction with others before it can create interesting things.

Maybe we need to join a writers workshop? It seems like a lot of the recently successful urban fantasy writers (in particular) are members of circles of writers who help each other out.

But all the best in any case and sounds like we should be glad the writing is no longer needed!

I second this motion. :)
