The original version was repetitive and it wasn't working towards what I wanted to accomplish as the point of the story, like the "moral of the story" thing. When I reworked the idea and got past that rut, it flowed easily

Aww that's too bad because I really loved your original version of the story. I get what you mean though. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work.

To veer even more off topic but yet keeping it about writing yay! lol

I know i've seen a few people say they don't want to read something unless they know it's complete.  Fanfic is like a soap opera for most people we need our small doses throughout the day. I think for fanfic it's important to post as you go for that reason except when it comes to something like totally reworking a story. I give you credit for taking it down and starting over. I have wanted to do that more than once but just felt like it was too late. lol

I don't think it's off topic unless it goes more of an annoying chatting, personal jokes, half the people don't get what you mean but one other person does route lol

Yeah, this is still a good fanfic discussion, even if it's evolved from the original topic.  I like talking shop like this! :)

I definitely don't have the willpower to write a whole story without posting it LOL.  Even when I was trying to write an "original novel," I still couldn't resist putting it up for people to read as I went along.  I can't help it; I like feedback, and it's such a motivating force.  I write mostly because I like to write, not because I want the praise for it, but at the same time, when I get something I'm proud of, I can't wait to share it with other people.

I do admire those who can wait till they have a finished product to start posting it, though, cause I really hate leaving things unfinished.  I always hold off on posting till I know the story is flowing and feel like the motivation is there for me to be able to keep writing on it, but even then, it doesn't always happen.  I hate leaving people hanging as much as I hate being left hanging as a reader, but it happens.  It takes me so long to write a story from beginning to end these days, I'd go years without updating if I made myself finish a story before I started posting it LOL.
