No, it's just that my characters are wondering through life, having problems and solving some. I don't have any problem with the flow of the story but I don't know how it's going to end. I guess I'll just keep writing until I find out.

Don’t know if I ever told you, but you were the first person I “met” on Lit. You invited me into Molly’s thread and made me feel at home. I really appreciated that. You also prolly know more about the “doings” of our family than just about anybody else on Lit. That’s cuz you care and are appreciated for being you.--posthumous message from Safe_Bet. And I still care and I still love her. Rest in the Light, Suzy.

I don't do outlines either...too restrictive IMO. I have 10k+ words of a story written and I don't know where the hell it's going...I keep getting ideas for the characters adventures, so I may never finish it.

Yeah, I keep wanting to add new things to the story as well, but I think it's nicely complex enough. the first four chapters have gotten good reviews for the most part.
Check your comments on your new story, Tom. |

Just about...it's set in a land of fantasy where anything can and does happen...where the laws of physics are but a stepping stone to weird adventures...no wonder I can't finish it.

Actually, it's about a fire inspector who falls in love with a fire elemental...she's half human...they return to the Fire Realm and have adventures there...they have wild sex as well...it's fun thinking up new situations to place them in.

I really need more conflict. I can't have a good, happy ending if the whole blamed thing is a smiley-trip so once I get the entire first draft written, some severe editing will definitely be needed.

Sounds pretty interesting. Reminds me of some plans I have for my sci-fi series.
