Not sure if this is the right thread to post in!  Does anyone else forget what they've written earlier in the story and have had to read back to see what they wrote?  I'm at that point right now.  I can't remember if I wrote the guys wives into it in the beginning, or whether I left them out.  I know that I don't usually write the real wives/girlfriends into my stories though.  I'm so useless, lol.  I'll have to re-read it so that I don't write something wrong.  Shame because I'm on a roll tonight too.

I ALWAYS have to do that Steph lol and the problem with me is I don't have the attention span needed to even read my own stuff so I end up just not updating. I so fail!

This happens to me all the time too. It is really annoying, but usually I find reading back through my older chapters helps me to get motivated to write an update.

Good luck on writing, girls! AC has been so dead lately :(

I do that a lot LOL.  Especially if it's not the story I've been working on regularly.  That's why I'm trying to get back down to writing just one or two stories at a time; it's just too hard to keep up with more than that.

I always have to go back and reread because I can't remember the small details of what's already happened. If I don't reread I end up making mistakes in continuity.

I imagine that having a bit of time off this summer (ie the whole month of July lol) will give me a chance to do some writing - hopefully!

I have to sometimes for little things, such as an original characters birthday or something. Sometimes if I'm not in the mood to write, but need to, I'll go back and read what I have written to get inspired to write.

Yay! :)  That usually does help me.  Like Mare said, though, I just have to be in the right mindset to focus on it so I can actually get through it.  Glad it helped!
