I got burned when I started reading Literotica by reading several 100K+ stories that were abandoned and will never likely be finished. Consequently, I vowed I would never release a work that wasn’t finished.
I have been writing like crazy, however, I’m now sitting on four years of unfinished writing. I now have ten incomplete serial stories of greater than 100K words. I seem to have a sickness where I simply can’t finish. Delayed writer’s orgasm syndrome.
The problem for me seems to be indecision about how to progress from one major plot point to the next one.
I have a three questions I would appreciate feedback on.
1. Any advice on finishing a long story?
2. Am I a horrible person if I started releasing chapters of a story that I have “in the can” in the hopes that eventually I will find the energy to push through to the ending in the future
3. How do you avoid killing your editing team on a work that is 100K+ words?
4. Anyone want to beta read 100k words with no finish?
Thanks,
