The wishing hour

[wiseheart]

I wish I could write short and easy pieces that please people's eyes and minds, instead of struggling with my long and complicated stories that take forever to finish and even the most devoted readers lose interest while waiting.

Damn it! Why must I always be so complicated with my stuff? It's frustrating. And it makes a writer very lonely. And jealous. And bitchy.

For the record:
I am feeling frustrated and jealous and bitchy. So what? I'm almost fifty years old. Age has to have some prerogatives to make up for all that lost time when I was writing for the desk drawer. Which made me write long and complicated stories, as it was bloody unlikely anyone would ever read it.

I'm getting to see some sort of pattern here. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way out. I guess, I won't ever have my personal fanclub again. Had it and lost it at the age of 12, when my classmates went to get my western back from the maths teacher. *sighs*

I love long, complicated stories. I've really enjoyed those stories of yours that I come across (enough to note an "excellent" on the spreadsheet where I keep track of such things).
Haven't yet journeyed beond your elves, but then I didn't know you had a vampire fic .... am a sucker for them :)
Thank you for writing and sharing. I'm sorry you don't feel appreciated, perhaps it may help to remember that many more read than comment, and your stories have reached all the way down here (New Zealand) so they "have legs" as they say in theatrical circles.
Thanks again

Thanks. :)

My vampire stuff is actually older than my Elves are and un-betaed, so be warned of the weird grammar.
