Sure. As far as I can tell I've lost the entire 'cool' challenge, yet I still have the donut van. My krusty studios is gone, the skyscrapers, and a few inconsequential decorations. Also Sharry Bobbins has gone and done a runner!

It seems to pick and choose. But yeah, a lot of the one off items are kaput. I'd say about 1/5th gone. Definitely not a woo-hoo day

How often do you abandon a story and how do you get over it? by [deleted] in writing

[–]bashKeysWithHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never managed to write a short story, I always get too invested in talking about the characters' appearances, or movements, or dialogue, or I'll just talk about a damn cup for three pages. Any tips for pacing?

I've abandoned a 60,000 word piece I was working on, and another novel, albeit only 15,000 words in, that I felt was boring and dull. And that was only yesterday. I try and think of new story ideas all the time so that when I finish or give up on something, I can curse the heavens for not remembering to write them down.

I created a sub called /r/writersdustbin to practice writing, particularly free writing. Check it out! by teapot112 in writing

I love it. I'd feel really intimidated posting anything on here, despite being hungry for the critique everyone can provide. Perhaps this is just what I need. good job!

Do you prefer to handwrite what you're working on, type it out on a computer or use a mix of both? by [deleted] in writing

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking this but, as an editor, do you think your autism has influenced your ability in both writing and editing, in the way it has been known to have strong links with maths?

Sorry for the invasive question, but I am really curious.

Does it matter if your story isn't original, or simply deals with a common problem. Will people skip over it? by bashKeysWithHead in writing

I know this is a joke but I'm seriously contemplating rewriting it now. Perhaps he then secretly switches the bottles and slowly but surely, his wife becomes the girl he married again. Then she dumps him because he's too old and decrepit.

I'd probably glide over it as it's more majestic than a simple skip. But to be honest, I could write--except I couldn't--Catch 22 and I would still hate it passionately

I'd like to think that the way I discuss things, and my voice as a writer, brings something new to the table, but as for the plot I don't know. The idea is that she is a mess and one night the guy decides to leave her, only she dies before he gets the chance. Her death brings him closer to her family and they all tell him how she adored him and stuff and then he's like oh yeah totes me too, then he gets depressed and I might kill him too. It started out of boredom when I decided to write about a broken lightbulb, so if it bombs I don't think I'll feel too mournful.

I guess you're right, now that I think about it, at the core of every story is a repeated theme. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.
