The Wall · 5:15pm Feb 15th, 2013
I often never finished any stories I tried to write for fun. Usually it was because something always got in the way and I just forgot that I was writing anything. My hope was that by creating this account and posting my work, I would be able to force myself to actually complete something for once. This is different. It is something that I have only experienced a few times before: "the wall". At least, that is what I call it.
It is not writer's block; I know what I want to happen next and am not at a loss of ideas. I simply just sit at my keyboard and have to will myself to type. Sadly, these past two weeks I have failed to be able to find that will. I have been jotting down ideas here and there in a vain attempt to chip away at "the wall", in hopes of being able to remove a few bricks. I think I am close. My goal is to have Chapter 6 complete by the beginning of next week (Monday or Tuesday).
Why so late? We are beginning the process of moving, so that is going to take up some of my time this weekend. That, and I can be a slow typist as I can get easily distracted. I will work to get something done, and posting this just to let those people actually interested in this story to know that I am not gone. I am not like some of those writers that begin a story only to disappear.
While I do not know if my work is really all that great, I know that if I want to improve as a writer then I must write. The story will be complete, though I do not know when, nor do I know its length. Looking through my scatter-brained notes, I think it might end up being around 9-10 chapters total at the end. Although I really do not have that as planned out as I should. I have a basic ending; I just haven’t figured out its execution yet.
