should i try to continue?

[emptyness]

i've been working on this short story, and not much is getting done. some of it is outside interference: loss of job, feeling closed in in my apartment, etc... and i've gotten good starts on two other stories. but having this one linger is bugging me. in my head, i can see it complete, where it goes. i guess i am just asking if, based on what have done so far, does it hold attention? do you wanna see where it goes? is it worth finishing?




*(as a sidenote, this is my first post on any of the writing forums. i am a new writer, i guess, tho i have been working on it for ten years (not this story, but trying to write). only recently have i taken the plunge to submit any of my work; i'm still waiting on word back on my 2nd story.
any notes, ideas, or suggestions are welcome. thank you in advance. )

Very interesting!

I would like it if you PM me when you finish what you have started.

I like these kinds of stories you show a great description and really an easy path to follow your story even with all the twists and turns.

Do you know where this story goes? Wondering, would this end up in the Romance category?

Please continue.

Short but well done

I liked it. I found myself easily integrated with the Cullings/Dupont character's sense of isolation and confusion. I'd be interested to see where this develops too, although, given what you've stated with the Maria character, I can't imagine it being to sun-shiny at the end (not a bad thing, but everyone loves a crowd-pleaser. You earn more respect sticking to your guns though, so keep that in mind too).

Keep it up, I say.

thank you, both.
it's a weird story that won't leave my head but won't settle enough for me to scribble much down.
hopefully i get to jump on it next week, tho i have another story started up as well.
doubt very much this one'll end up in the romance category; for some reason not much of what trapiezes thru my head ever does.

You have a trapieze in your head? Cool I can still remember the first time I climbed up the tower onto the little platform. Scarey to be so high and then to reach out for the swing. I am not afraid of heights, it is the whole thing about there is only one way down for a biginner that's to let go!

What did you land on?
