Do you ever feel like your ideas are too big for your writing abilities? Ever since I started writing I've had epic novel-length stories in my head, but I haven't been able to get past the first scene of any of them. I have no clue as to why I can't manage to write these silly things. I don't think it's my short attention span; some of these stories have been in my head for years. What reason do I have for being so terrified of writing anything over 2,500 words? How can I seriously tell myself that I want to be a novelist if I can't get over this silly fear? Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions on how to overcome it?
And speaking of unwritten epics:
Day 08 - The pairing with the most baggage?
Star Wars - Atton and Kreia (gen-ship)
As much as I love antagonistic romantic relationships, I probably love this one more. At first glance they seem to have nothing in common, but I think their intense mutual dislike actually comes from how much they are alike. Both are highly secretive, have epic issues with the Jedi Order, stubborn and sneaky, expert liars, both are obsessed with the Exile, etc. As much as they can't stand each other, they understand one another, and have this sort of begrudging respect between them.
I could go on and on about these two, but I'll spare you. I've been trying to write a big fic about their relationship, but... *points to beginning of post*
Random piece of information: Kreia is my favorite fictional character of all time. Fandom despises her. I don't know what this says about me.
she's too invested in the hours that pass her by
i'd pay attention if i thought it was worth the time
