A new story, finally... *sob*

[openthighs_sarah]

I had a dozen stories that I just could never seem to finish. Some of them just needed a closing paragraph or two, and still I couldn't finish them. No matter how much I wrote, I never finished a single thing.

And then, I started a new one two nights ago. I was too tired to open any of the old ones, and I wanted a change of pace. I finished the story a half hour ago -- five thousand words in three nights.

I feel as if I've been sick for ages, and my fever just broke. I feel like sobbing, too. I don't even know if the story's any good, and right now I don't care. What a strange, strange thing...

Just felt like talking about this, that's all. Now I'll slip quietly back into the shadows and sob.

Congrats!

I think anyone who tries to further their writing ends up with this problem. I know I've been there before (and actually, am right back there all a sudden)!

I could gush about my own experience, but I'll just let you glow.

way to go sarah! I know exactly what you mean - the fever, that is! Oh, I'm happy for you. <hugs>

Yay!

Dear Sarah,
Good for you.

Twelve hours later

I hope the fever has gone and the sense of achievement remains.

Finishing any story is wonderful, especially if you have been stuck with unfinished ones that just won't leave you alone.

Congratulations.

Og.

Hip, hooray

Nice one love, way to go.

It's such a relief to get something up and running and actually finish it, isn't it, I too have been in the rut of unfinished stuff.

Good for you sarah, bask in the glow.

pops...........

Thank you all for the kind thoughts.

I'm done sobbing. Thanks for letting me leak all over the board.

Well OTS,
when do we get to see it? I'm sure it's up to your usual high standards of writing and depravity.

When -- that's up to Laurel, now. Sometime this week, I suppose. (Did I pull that off? I was trying to sound blasé.)

As for my standards... one person's top is another's bottom, especially when it comes to depravity. Thanks for the compliment, though.

Goody, time to start watching New Stories again. Now perhaps this unblocking will do some good on those other dozen? You're having all the pleasure of what you're keeping to yourself; we can only imagine.

Those stories seem cursed to me now, Rainbow Skin, but I'll probably try to finish at least one of them. The new story I posted is a bit on the serious (read: "literary") side, and I may have to finish one of the "fun" ones just to get myself back in the proper balance. My main character doesn't like being muzzled, even for a good cause.
