I'd rather be having sex than . . .

[Guest]

. . . than write about having sex.

I have hard copies of nine (count 'em, NINE!) half-completed stories waiting.

Waiting.

Still waiting.

I'm very serious! They are waiting for me right now. All of them! They're over there by the fireplace, hiding in that box in the corner.

Can you see them, too?

And now I know they are watching me. Staring at me with their creepy little yet-to-be-edited typos, making me feel so guilty I've allowed them to languish incomplete and half-forgotten.

*sigh*

Why is it so hard for me to get back to writing??

I mean, honestly!

(Is it because I'd rather be having sex than be writing about it?)

Hmm! Just keep taking the pills love

I am exactly the same if it's any consolation dear, I have several unfinished masterpieces languishing on my hard thingy, hard drive that's it, hey what did you think I meant???

I find myself becoming affraid to open them, my finger hovers over the enter key, and I just can't do it, I have to go off and screw the wife instead.

It's her bloody fault anyway, I was halfway through a lovely flowing thing and she stuck her oar in.
Challenged me to write a piece to order for her, that is even worse, it has to be fact based yet good enough to post here, so I've got to spice it all up a bit without losing the facts.

They're coming to take me away Haha!!

 

[Guest]

Pop, you always make me smile!

Especially hearing about the masterpieces languishing on your hard thingy!

 

[deliciously_naughty]

I have a novel laungishing on my computer.

I'd rather be having sex than writing about it too, but since I'm not having it, I might as well write about it

 

[dr_mabeuse]

It's a bad sign when the story goes from being something you want to write to something you feel you have to write. Some little spark is gone.

I've got a bunch of those, and some are salvageable, some not worth finishing. It's a cruel world, and not every story makes it. If I can get an idea for a scene later on in one of these orphans that I want to write, that might help get me through the slogging part. But if there's nothing down the road that interests me, they usually stay unfinished, maybe broken up and used for scrap if there's something I particularly like in there.

You still hold a major advantage, I had several stories like that, stories I was working on or pretending to be, but I lost them all when my hard drive crashed. Starting over is a lot harder than picking up on one you have abandoned.

In your case however I think you might be best to start a new one, pick a new slant, something different. Try a new category or a new kink, just start on one you are writing purely for the fun of exploring and experimenting. You may find you can recapture the creative spark and even more, the joy of writing, then those old stories will be more like old freinds than abandoned pets

next story.........

I have had stories go from initial draft to submitted in a day or two. I guess, either it's too easy, or I don't spend enough time... not sure which. Only one sits on my "hard thingy" as Pop would say.

My latest story is only at a 4.37 or so, so I am discouraged about submitting the next story. Doesn't that seem like a lousy excuse not to submit? My lowest scoring story yet. Poor baby. Maybe I need to review my next story again. Get some balls. Submit!

Want to play with my ding-a-ling? Pop-your fault for bringing up old songs........... lol

Sweet,
I agree with you. I have a few unfinished stories lying around here somewhere(I guess I'll check my "hard thingy).
Now as to whether I would rather have sex or write about it, wellllllll..........that's a no brainer for me. hehehe

Have a nice day

 

[Guest]

I want a hard thingy.

Thanks, everyone -

I tend to use humor when dealing with the rotten stuff life chooses to dump in our laps. (It's part of my, er, charm?)

Anyway, hence this thread - using a smart-ass approach to handle a real problem.

I appreciate all your comments, especially as many of you are saying the same thing.

So - I'm going to let those stories stay in the box for awhile and I'll try not to stress about it! And I'm going to start writing something new and different.

Colly, I love your suggestion about writing in an entirely new category. Oh, the possibilities!

And dr. M. - You're right about losing the spark. Maybe writing something new will help me find it!

Hey, you seem to have that at least. What's there to complain about? Only write when you really really want to. I agree with Mabeuse, It's not the same if you write mainly because you feel some self-suggested pressure to write.

Now, go have some more sex. Then write a review. Maybe that will get your muse going.

Delicious advice, thank you!

(and my husband will appreciate it as well!)

Sigh, I would if I could too. But unfortunately, I'm a fountain of snot and germs at the moment, so I'm not let anywhere near.

Only a 4.37. Only? In the big picture mtnman, that means that those who bothered to vote rated it only 12.5 % short of fuckin' perfect! You should try to retain some perspective and realize that that's a pretty high opinion of your work.

I'm laughing in sympathy even while being completely grossed out at the same time!

Hope you feel better soon!

 

[oggbashan]

Sex? Been there but...

... I rely on my memory. Several thousand years of memory. Balkis was good. Cleopatra was overrated. Leda preferred swans. She was an odd girl.

Incomplete drafts - I have over 50 posted stories and two or three times that number waiting completion.

I look at them from time to time; can't progress with them, so write another incomplete draft to add to the festering pile.

Or - One of them gives me some inspiration to finish it.

Or - I decide to write a new story and knock it out in 3 hours. That was the time for the pending Valentine's Day story "E-mail Valentine" but it is only a thousand words. Very short for me.

Hey

When my hard drive crashed and I lost all my works in progress I was really depressed. Try as I might I couldn't get started on anything without remembering things I had done so much on and were now lost. The desire to write was there, the ideas were just as strong, but each time I sat down to write I got very down and no words would come. It was frustrating and depressing at the same time.

So I tried a poem. It helped a little. Then I tried a category I had never considered before, erotic horror. It's not particularly horrific, it's not even one of my better stories, but it flew off my fingers and I found the spark again. I still lament my lost works, but they now longer hold me back from creating new stories.

Hopefully giving a new category a try will give you the same boost.

-Colly

 

[Guest]

Now think about what you're saying, Colly!

Me, writing poetry?

(Surely not!)


Erotic horror, hmm? That would certainly tie in with some of the dark thoughts my mind seems to be overwhelmed with lately.

It sounds like an interesting topic. Let's see what gets caught in my warped idea net!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Sex?

That's the number between 5 and 7 in Swedish.

Interpret THAT however you wish, you pervs!

 

[LipstickKiss]

I should probably be having less sex, considering I have neither boyfriend nor girlfriend.

I've been writing this story, and its probably the second story ever that I know the full plot already and I'm not just winging it as I go. I really want to finish it...

And I've only recently started writing about sex, I've written 2 stories, and only one of them I put up. But I need to add another chapter and then start my other story... @_@

I'd rather be writing about sex than writing essays for my English class.

dear sweetsubsarahh
when I get stuck, I mean blocked, I like to go somewhere new, where there are people i can watch without them realizing they are somewhat fodder for a new story..like the mall, or a restaurant, watching people interact and wondering what they are like, really, when no one is around--imagining how he might touch her, if they have "friends" they play with, or something as simple and lewd as wondering what they look like naked ..it usually works for me
good luck

Sarahh,

Have you thought about combinations?

Paul Heaton, the lyricist for The Beautiful South often takes two or more of his poems and combines them to create lyrics for his songs.

Now you don't have 5 unfinished stories, you have one story with 4 subplots. Hm?

I only have two unfinished stories and one is for the contest so I'd better get on with it.

[Guest]

I have 3 unfinished stories and a NaNo novel that is in desperate need of editing. My *want to* for all of these are sadly lacking. I think that I am suffering from *mommyitis*: too much noise, not enough quiet time. BRAIN CANNOT FUNCTION!

Isn't that between Fem and Shoo in Norway, (not sure of the spellings it was a long time ago).

Bugger that only being able to have it off during two hours of the day, is that morning or afternoon by the way love I mean are we on 24 hr clock here.
