writing discovery

I forgot I wrote 30,000 words to this historical fantasy!

THIRTY THOUSAND WORDS.

Why do I have so many ideas and yet never seem to be able to finish any of them?

Looking at the timestamps, I plotted these out right before the first Avengers movie, when I got dragged into the MCU and Maria. *sigh*

I definitely go back and read my old shinies too. I just... don't seem to make any progress on them lolsob. One in particular is the "book of my heart," a story concept I have loved and attempted for YEARS, but I don't think my skills are quite there enough yet. It's a full epistolary with found material elements, and while epistolary is one of my fave styles to write - especially in fanfic - I just can't seem to manage a full novel length plot with it yet. So that one, at least, I have a reason for leaving it percolating, but the others. I should have done something with them by now. Le sigh.

Yeah, having new folks take a look at my work is always nervewracking. *hugs*
