The ones I discuss are the ones I think have a good chance of me finishing and wanting to send out.<BR/><BR/>If you don't like the story, that's okay. When you don't like working on the story, that's when you need to ask yourself if your time wouldn't be better spent on a new or different story (sometimes it's a yes, sometimes a no). And just because a story is difficult to write doesn't mean it's a bad story.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-88182297456451436452007-08-14T15:39:00.000-04:002007-08-14T15:39:00.000-04:00I tried that way with my "Charlie" story.

I should revisit it and see what I can do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897700063744746464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-58064824294575095072007-08-13T21:26:00.000-04:002007-08-13T21:26:00.000-04:00Kanrei, you just need to start.

Not being a great writer (or just one with ADD) I never finish them, but damn my plots are good. =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897700063744746464noreply@blogger.com
