I write fiction. I would highly recommend it to everyone, even if those stories are just for yourself. Writing fiction makes you extremely sensitive to the means and impact of how you present your story's information. When you approach character, you come face to face with how much you understand someone (anyone at all really); well written characters have well written reasons for their actions. You will become obsessed (in a good way) with the ways that the reasons we tell ourselves about why such and such or so and so is precisely that way are so important. Writing fiction and characters changes how you look at people off the page.
