The greatest joke that my brain chemistry plays on me is that every few years I get an idea for a novel, which I will outline, write several chapters for, and then never touch again.
@evacide ... i "suffer" the same malady. But, for me it's all fun. Let the stories unfold. Write what you want. Short stories, long stories, whatever comes to mind. No story is lost. But, many are untold. Best regards - stay creative :)
