I've got one that I can't seem to finish and one that I can't seem to start...

Wow, you're like me!

Hello, I'm barging in here without invitation.
I have a tendency to get way too many story ideas to ever finish, but I lack self-discipline and I am easily side-tracked (not a good combination) so I skip from one idea to another and another and another....you get the idea, I'm sure, hehe. But I have a plan this year--I am limiting myself to working on only one story per month (maybe it'll work; who knows). Right now I'm working on a fantasy, but I'm still coming up with the plot and characters and stuff....I like doing all that, but it tends to distract me from actual writing, so I spend hours and days and weeks on a story and not get one word written.... I guess that's why patience is a virtue, huh?

I was reading this and said hehe, we are like each other! Currently I have 10 open projects! 10!! I cant finish any of them. No...I can, I just need to try. taking 2 at a time that I work on monthly until they are done or something.

lol.

Well, if you can do it, I can do it....I guess....hehe.

[font=STOMP_Snidely]But i know exactly what you're talking about. i have to be seriously inspired to actually finish a story - i have done it, tho! [/font]

I'm only working on one story currently...and I'm stuck on it because I have to research a lot for it. I can't seem to find any information on the time period.

 

[GodFlute2]

that's always annoying.

I have started one story myself but gave up.
Not because of difficulty but because I couldn't type fast enough to get my thoughts on the page.
I do better at writing poetry. I hope some day to have enough poems collected to try and get published. One thing I may have to do is write a large poem or two to gow with what I have written.
I may again in the future try my hand at writing a book either a novel or even a none fiction book just to see if I have the patience and ability to not only start but to finish.

 

[GodFlute2]

what I do is hand write it out, then when I'm at a stuck spot I go back and type it in to remind me of what all I have already done and remind myself of what's to come. Gets it typed and possably gives me more ideas.

Maybe poetry's just more your "thing". And if you're not a fast typer, try writing it out by hand. That's what I do, then go to type it up.

 

[mochagirl]

I go back and forth between typing and handwriting--depending on if a computer's free. I like typing on the computer more, because it seems faster as well as easier to correct, but I handwrite fairly often, and when I rewrite it onto the computer it's nice because I get a chance to go over what I've written an extra time.

 

[antiarte]

I can't write directly to the computer. Normally, I start typing about the second or third draft. I gots notebooks and notebooks with unfinished drafts and lots of outlines. I've been really working harder in the three storries that are developed the most; they're finally shaping up. Praise God!

 

[GodFlute2]

lol. It's always fun to finish one...or at least have it look likr it's going to bbe finished.

 

[jesusfreak10537]

Everytime I almost finish one, I get stuck and have to back and rewrite something. Its pretty frustrating.

 

[GodFlute2]

lol. I also know what that's like.
