Is there anything scarier as a fanfic writer than to look back on the last updates you posted on a story, and to realize it’s been over a year?
Time is a funny thing I tell ya?
I hope I finish some of the stories I started ages ago. I don’t expect folks to stick around for an update for over a year on a story that was pretty simple to begin with. But for my own self confidence, it would be nice to complete something.
I tend to have a habit of starting stories that I obsess over in the moment then neglect for months on end, assuming I ever return to them. I’ve done this for years now.
Sometimes I start to read my own stories, and get a bit emotional, because they were never finished. :’) But also, since they’re my stories, I wonder if they’ll be on a permanent cliff-hanger because of my tendencies of not completing projects.
I used to dream of being a writer. Still sorta do. But I’d have to learn to commit to and finish my ideas first.
