Mood:  not sure

I've wanted to do something of an ongoing serial for a while. That way I can possibly break down my total-lack-of-an-ending plots into managable chunks, and not worry too much about high quality writing and just concentrate on putting out product that is (mostly) consistent. Putting up a game chronicle sort of fit the bill. I've done it before with the Myth game, but that died and I ended up failing to post some of the later episodes anyway. Damn the laziness.

The urge to do this is still there, still burrowing around in my brain trying to find a way out. The problem seems to be that the little bastard urge doesn't have a story attached to it. At least, not that I've noticed. Plus I've got that annoying reluctance hanging around in me that doesn't want to start a project that I know I'm unlikely to finish. Trust me, they pile up and are a bitch to dust.

This is not to say that I don't have a couple little story ideas simmering in the brainpan. I just don't see them getting any further than say 10 paragraphs or so before something stupid gets in the way of things and it withers away. When something like that dies I end up totally abandoning that idea - dead ends that get trimmed when I forget why I was hanging on to them in the first place.

*Yawn* Yet another 'I don't have the emotional fortitude to write' post out of me. I suppose if I'd just sit my ass down and use the time I waste posting these on actual writage maybe something would happen. Wishful thinking, most of the time. No, damn the pessimism too - I think I should start something and let it live or die as fate decides. These abortive dismissals aren't going to get anything written, are they?

Stay tuned...
