I blame Jules for this, in a continuation of my theory that nothing I do is my fault anymore.
I have a confession to make – I have yet to finish a full-length story.
Ever. Well, no, to be completely accurate, I have yet to really
finish anything. My writing career is scattered with unfinished
things. Unfinished one-shot roleplay games, unfinished short stories, unfinished novels, unfinished fanfictions. I have, to date, finished…six things.
One was the first story in a fanfic series that I don’t have motivation for anymore. Two were one-shot fanfictions. Three were pre-story Between the Tick and the Tock things that I now want to go back and rewrite, since they work in BtTatT canon and have worked themselves
into character histories and the suchlike. I just have a much better grasp on who the characters are, and what the world they live in is like. None of them (fanfic or otherwise) were really of any decent length, but I liked the story I told in each one of them, so that’s something!
Prompted by Julie’s entry, though, I went and listed all the story ideas I have had (that I can remember) since I started writing. Some of these (especially in the fanfic list) will probably not be worked on, as I will fully admit I’ve lost interest, some of them before I ever started writing them.
With no further ado,
( Writing List )One of my resolutions this year is to finish things I start (see regular journal for more on this). Hopefully that'll have an effect on this list...
