I feel super guilty about how sporadic my updates for Running Up That Hill are. I'll write like three chapters, post them all days apart from each other, and then forget about it for a month or so (or even longer)... rinse and repeat... ugh. I really want to finish it soon because I've been working on it for nearly two years and want to move on to something fresh.
mare:
I used to feel guilty for dropping the ball on my story Scars Run Deep and Wide for as long as I did, but in the end I did finish it. I feel a tad bit guilty for saying there would be one more story for Scattered Pictures where as now I'm thinking that probably will not happen.
Reading wise, I don't really have a lot of guilt. I know I'm picky and sometimes maybe I feel bad about not giving some stories more of a try, but I do try to get into a fair share before clicking out. Once I do commit, I feel like I'm a pretty good reader/reviewer.
A few confessions of mine: If a chapter is really long and wordy, I tend to skim to just the dialogue to get an idea of what's happening lol
I always look at people's reviews before I read their story. Not even to see what people are saying but to see if they bother to respond. If they don't, I'll skip the story.
I also look and see who is reviewing a story and if it's a bunch of names that I know do not like the same things I do, I tend to take that into consideration.
Again, I rarely read the actual reviews though because I don't want to know the plot before I read the story lol I'm so weird!
mare:
I don't have a question for today, Anyone else?
RokofAges75:
Are there any subjects or storylines you avoid writing? If so, which ones and why?
Purpura Lipstick:
I typically avoid writing medical stories. I know I have one now and it's killing me to continue to write because I am not as familiar with those types of stories. I don't write "real world" stories with as much ease as other writers and I find it difficult to write something where the characters won't spontaniously fly through space and time or have to fight men in suits but wonder why they know how to fight in the first place. It's just not the kind of fiction I can write and I applaud all the ladies that pull these kinds of stories off with what appears to be such ease. :)
