Does anyone ever get the feeling that their stories hate them? lol

For some reason I feel anti-finishing feelings toward PBox. lol I get an itty-bit inspired and say that I'm going to write... Then I atare at a blank document in word for like twelve minutes. Why? :(

Has this happened to anyone else before? lol

MonkeyAbu:
Finally someone started a topic that I couldn't decide on how to start.

I've been feeling this way often, though I refuse to just give up and not finish. I figure since I have gotten this far then I can make it towards the end. It make take a few struggles, but I will eventually get there if I stick to it.

One of my biggest problems lately is uncooperative characters. They are being stubborn and frankly they just will not do what I tell them to. For example, I planned out a scene for Chapter 20 of ITNC, but when I started writing it, it would not go the way I wanted it to and now I find myself not knowing exactly what direction the scene is going and supposed to go. And worse yet? The characters are refusing to tell me.

Heh, so yeah, on a more mentally sane note, I understand completely what you are talking about. I think we all do?

nicksgal:
Well.... I'm sure most of my characters hate me by now as well. lmao

I have all of three chapters left to write--that's why it's annoying. lmao I know exactly what said three chapters are each supposed to be about too.... It just hates me. lmao

Oh, Nick did that to me a long time ago. I'm happy that he did, since the story ended up better for it. :) I'd say just go with it; youe characters probably have a good feeling of their world. :)

I feel the same way about my final two stories. It's so bad I can't even get myself to open up word. I know I don't want to leave everyone hanging by not finishing but I honestly have no desire to finish either story at all. I am going to try my hardest to get Thirteenth Step done though because i'm so close to being finished. Because I haven't written in a while I feel like I have lost that connection I have had with my characters and that's sad.

nicksgal:
I think it may be almost worse for you, Mare, than me. I think I'm only sad because this has been my baby for almost two and a half years. And it seems almost unreal to let go of one story that will be the first I've finished in a long time... If I get my motivation back up.... There's at least two others focusing on these characters for me, so... it's not so bad...

But final is a big word.... It makes it seem that much more sad... Even I feel sad for that end. And it has very little to do with me...
