shapinglightHoorah! I think I may have just had a breakthrough in my (so far) hopeless quest to get that half-written Spike/Angel fic that's been sitting on my hard drive since 2008 finished.
I have a few other fic ideas for which I'd written a couple of pages and scribbled a few notes, most (all) of which I'm pretty sure will never be written, but this one I'd already written about 13,000 words of before I abandoned it (due to having to write something else for a deadline).
Yesterday, I re-read what I'd written so far for the umpteenth time, trying to work out how to get from where the story's got so far to the end I'd imagined for it. Still nothing. Today, I thought, okay, I'll try to write 1000 words of the next section and see what happens, and I think I may have finally cracked it. Now, all I have to do is find the mental energy to write the damn thing. ;)
Well, we'll see, I suppose. Link to the only fragment of this fic I've ever posted. Would be nice to finish it.
ETA: I should probably mention that I'm also in the process of revising Family Reunion so I can post it on A03.

Date: 2015-08-26 08:32 pm (UTC)I did pretty well in 2013, especially towards the end of the year, despite the accident. Last year, I hardly wrote anything.
I would like to finish this story, though, simply because I'd already written so much of it before I gave up. And I didn't give up because I thought it was no good, but because I'd been writing it for a community, realised I wouldn't finish in time, so put it aside and wrote something else quickly, then got involved in writing something else, etc, etc. It kept getting put aside, and before I realised it, it was almost ten years later.
Despite the fact I write for a living,
You do? What do you write? Er...please feel free to tell me to mind my own business if you don't want to say.
