I think to be honest I'm at the stage where I ought to do the complete opposite - just try to finish something and then beat it into a shape vaguely resembling a good story. noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-68395592285698082522016-01-20T12:28:33.910+08:002016-01-20T12:28:33.910+08:00Just write fragments.

Even if you don't get a *story* story out of it, you might. And at the very least you'll learn more about your setting and the people in it (once they start getting names and talking).<br /><br />And you might post more of them here, as I selfishly hope.Arnold Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603155377769597516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-48545093772783231012016-01-20T05:11:58.949+08:002016-01-20T05:11:58.949+08:00That's very kind of you.

I stopped writing around 2010 because I became disillusioned with my ability to sustain a story - I would get hypercritical and start to hate anything I was writing before it was finished. As a result, I never finished anything. Recently I've started writing again with the aim of overcoming that - we'll see what happens. noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513019539869706574.post-71525710761713523732016-01-19T22:07:36.150+08:002016-01-19T22:07:36.150+08:00That's a rare talent you have.
