Whoot!
The problem is I haven't been doing the writing I should be doing. My post about getting some of the stories in my head out on paper caused me to go for it... by summarizing one of the stories and doing a minor scene write. Sounds good in theory but I've found that when I do, I tend to never come back to it. I've written out the story and now I don't want the work of fleshing it out. Laziness maximized! My best success comes when I start a story from the start to the finish, writing the entire thing out then going back and then later fleshing out certain parts (a sex scene when I wasn't feeling up to it, an instruction scene when my writing was coming off as nagging, etc) I might have written a little too quickly. So now this poor storyline is written out, and I'm ignoring it because I just realized how much work it would take to complete it. But oh look, here's a story over here in this folder that doesn't need all that work...
Bah humbug! Luckily for this poor story, I'm changing my writing habits so this weekend I will start writing the damn thing. Probably will be novella length, but could go short story too. I suppose I'll write it until I feel like I'm done and find out what length it is then.
Ahhh... the mystery!
