An experience waiting for me to walk toward it.<BR/><BR/>It is true, I am afraid of going on without the story living inside me, we have been together so long, but I also now believe, that even after I have written The End, and walked away, this story, these characters and I, will still be entwined.Taffinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961088325369065690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027621747663402662.post-78131155886735581452007-08-25T15:50:00.000-04:002007-08-25T15:50:00.000-04:00What a beautiful poem, Taffiny!About your story - ...What a beautiful poem, Taffiny!<BR/><BR/>About your story - maybe you don't really want to finish it, because what gives you real pleasure is writing it, living in it forever. What would happen it you finished it? A big empty place, difficult to fill with something else. What you could try, though, and I'm telling you this from my own experience, would be to write other stories in parallel, short stories that you can finish, intense little things that can also give you the pleasure of seing something complete. Try it. It's an amazing feeling, just to walk away after writing <I>the end</I>.Vesperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417602625059442986noreply@blogger.com
