I really hurt inside, Robyn. But...Unfinished books. I really hurt inside, Robyn. But there is a difference. You say you're waiting the right moment, the experiences and the inspiration to continue them. So they are not really unfinished. They are on hold. <br /><br />But think about writing a story and then deciding it's not good enough and you just leave it be. Well, no. Every story needs to be finished, we need to finish it. Because we'll learn through that, we will evolve. That's what I believe. <br /><br />I had read the best quote ever. "I'm going to succeed, because I'm crazy enough to think I can." That's the attitude I praise. :) I'm that crazy! <br /><br />Oh, how great it would be to discuss over coffee with you, Robyn! I know it's not all good, but at this part of my life at least, I wanna see the brighter picture. And ... oh, how much <br />I'd love to be in a cafe in France again! I need to find money to visit my sister again!:)Athinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485560779521386981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-69165384640868557582014-06-05T08:34:31.186+03:002014-06-05T08:34:31.186+03:00Oh my gosh, I don't know about this one. The s...Oh my gosh, I don't know about this one. The simple question is not so simple, I totally agree. But I have unfinished books all over the place. I wrote them into the ground and decided to step away. Not quit entirely. They are still with me. I think about what I can do with them, but either I haven't matured enough as a writer to do what I want or I haven't experienced life in a certain way that will push me in the right direction. Silly maybe. One story was dystopian and I freaking love the MC, but I threw everything at her and I couldn't stop! Another story was fantasy and I am no where near skilled enough. I remember Stephen King putting one of his stories on hold forever until he felt he was mature enough to write it. One thing I believe is if you write a story that you love, share it. <br /><br />Your discussion posts always have me imagining having coffee with you and arguing passionately back and forth our ideas, there will be laughter and "You're crazy" accusations. You'll let loose about what writing is. I'll fall into a Zen trip and say it's all good. We'll trade roles. So this one little post sent me on a trip to a cafe in France.
