Nah it's not on AC, but I appreciate the thought :)

I'm really bad when it comes to the amount of projects I'm working on. I get an idea and I feel that I have to post immediatly cause it runs from beginning to end in my head, then I get stuck getting the whole middle done.
As of now I am continually working on...
Bound by Honor
The Body Shop
Ones that I've started but I'm having a hard time finishing are...
Nobody's Baby
Underneath Your Clothes
This one I have on hiatus cause my muse and I just couldn't keep going (this is where I really wish I wouldn't have started a sequel) I made a big booboo by starting that :(
Undying Devotion- sequel to Sinister Devotion
Pivotal scenes I've written I'm gonna say
Bound by Honor- chapter 28 When Sophia fights with Nick because he wants her to come to terms that he's going to die.
Fight Me- Chapter 24 when Nick actually puts up a fight for the first time in a long while against his opponent. Then he wins and doesn't even realize it since he's exhausted.
All my old stories took me about three or more years to finish. Which sucked!!! sinister Devotions, Fight Me and Just One Kiss were all written within four months because I outlined them. So I guess that's the key to being able to finish a story faster for me.
I do tend to set a chapter limit on myself most of my stories are about 30 chapters long, with exception of Ray of Hope which I somehow doubled. Ugh. lol.
FrickingKaos:
I have mild OCD so I can't stand odd numbers. When writing I usually don't plan how long it is gonna be, I just decide to end it where it seems fit. My longest story is 46 chapters long I think. The uneven review count bugs the hell out of me, also when I am really excited for my readers to see an update and nobody reads...that bugs me a bit too.
kevmylove:
I agree with the updating and no one reads. Although I notie the read count go up really fast but no reviews. Odd. I have a lot of readers that don't review...they send me DMs or emails instead. I guess they are shy or busy.
Question: Does anyone else get stuck on the ending of a story, even if you had already planned it out?
RokofAges75:
That's always annoying, when you know people are reading but not reviewing for some reason. I just expect less readers and reviewers with certain stories, though. When I'm writing Nick/BSB drama and updating consistently, I get a good amount of feedback. With stories that are not about Nick, not BSB but AU, and not updated regularly, the number of reviews drops quite a bit. It just goes with the territory, though.
As far as endings, I usually don't get stuck too much. Sometimes I psych myself out, like Steph and some of us were saying before, if it's a part I've envisioned in my head so many times that I'm worried I won't be able to do it justice, but I always get over that. Usually I'm so excited to be almost done that I have a nice writing streak at the end of a story that carries me through the last few chapters. The actual ending, as in the last few lines of the whole story, can be tough, but I usually find the last line easier than the first line. A lot of times I have the last line in my head long before I actually write it, but if I don't, it can be hard to come up with the perfect one on the spot. I love the feeling of having the perfect last line all ready to go and knowing it's going to be the last line when I type it for the first time, so I can stick a period on it and type The End and let out a little sigh of satisfaction and call it done! Amazing feeling!
