Annoyed With Myself
I've finally come to terms that I have a really bad habit of starting to write a story, getting halfway through it and then leaving it to crawl away and hide in some file deep within my computer because I no longer have any intrest in it.
I don't know if this is just because I can no longer by bothered writing it, or I'm just lazy. But I really want to finish them, It's just that I lose my train of thought if I stop for more than a week. Any longer than that and I have no idea what to do with my stories.
So I've devised this ingenious plan to write ALL of my stories first, not in chapters, but instead in one go. Meaning I'm not posting my stories, waiting for reponses then typing up the next, because I feel that is what is causing me to stop my train of though.
Also I have begun to actually write out a detailed plot line, which is new to me because I have never, ever written a plot outline before. Usually I depend on my spur of the moment to whatever comes first into my mind goes down on my page. But now I'm finding it so much easier to write, which I feel proud.
I know I want to finish the two stories I've got going on fanfiction at the moment, but for the time being, I want to try and write this Stargate Atlantis plot that's been bugging me for ages, so I gave in.
So, here I am, 1pm in the morning writing my so far 2,660 word story with only the very basic begining covered. Hopefully I will finish this story altogether by the end of the school holidays.
