Writing again
16 years ago
Well, I started a story this past weekend. Got at least a few more pages before I can find a decent stopping point and post here, possibly more pages than that considering how long-winded I've been in this rough draft :P
It feels overly long and a tad rambling, I'll remind you all to critique it to death when it's finally posted - maybe then I'll start improving and post something worth getting excited about.
Funny how I've written down numerous ideas and even whole scenes for other short stories, but a scene for this one popped into my head out of nowhere and it got placed at the head of the queue. Sometimes it feels like you've gotta hold on for dear life to an idea, otherwise it'll be lost before you get the nerve to write it out - and knowing it in your head is a far cry from having it down in words.
I've remembered why I had slacked off so much, it takes quite a bit of time and effort to write. I am sooo out of practice ^.^;;;
Props to everyone who does this consistently, don't ever fall out of practice or you may find months or years go fly by before you finish another complete story. The future is now!

OP
hehe, just look through my gallery - the first things I submitted were a few poems and short stories. If you look on my lj profile you'll see a link to my fictionpress account. Been awhile since I've completed anything but... I'm trying to change that ;)
