I really don't post often enough, do I?
Not like anyone comments when I do post, anyways, but some of you I'm sure still read and are interested in my life.
I haven't really been reading anyone else's journals much though, so I suppose I can't complain too much.
I need more fandom to write in, more plot bunnies, and I really really need to get together something that's a good, long story. Everything I write tends to come out either short and sweet, or unfinished.
From those on my list who do read my posts, and, perhaps, are authors themselves: Any tips?
The only things that I have that are any length at all, or planned to be lengthy, are my original fiction things, the two or three novel-things I'm working on. None of my fanfiction wants to be long.
It seems like what happens is this: If I don't finish the thought, write out the whole idea, get the plot out and down in one sitting, or within about a week, it will never get finished because I lose all my inspiration for it. So things have to be short, to get the idea out and across. Everything I've ever posted has been short, but I have about a billion things half-written all over my hard drive and google documents.
And when I try to go back to some of them? My writing has changed so drastically, I'm not even sure what to do now! I have improved a lot, and some of them feel like I need to re-write the entire thing.
Perhaps that will be today's effort, is re-writing Moonshadow and typing up the bit of idea I had for it.
Why do I get the urge to do this at the end of November..? Tch.
