Abstract: Yeah, what the title says ^^^^. (if you can't be bothered reading the rest!)

Elaboration: But seriously, I'm kinda stuck on my other two projects, both which I started in 2006. The third one I started early this year, but stopped adding to it because I ran out of ideas and wasn't sure exactly where I wanted to lead it. Maybe university taking over my schedule in February was also to blame! After all, I had a lot of essays and coursework already...who really would want to write more?

The 2nd one I started writing has a bit of a paranormal storyline. I don't think this could really go anywhere as it's not really for any age group. There is some suggested violence, though not graphic, although the main story would be aimed at around the same age as Harry Potter was (see where the issue is? They had a few problems with classifying that, publishing the books was also difficult). I am also out of ideas for this one.

The first was pretty much a pet project which I enjoyed writing in 2004. I developed the whole idea and wrote more of a storyline in 2006, although it really falls into the category of 'fictional biography'. It is really about a set of unidentical twins, the twin bond etc and some events which affect them throughout their lives. I even devised a 2nd follow-up story, but writing for the 'big screen' isn't exactly wise. It was the only one of my pet projects to become something bigger (to me, anyway) and the whole story started off as just one of multiple fictional biographies I wrote. I just love to describe things, which made me an absolute star in English class (this is where I found I had a talent for imaginative writing....at about age 15). Doesn't really help you expand the story though. Oh and the twins thing- I was a twin myself...but never really got to experience the bond thing. I did see it in my two twin older friends though...met one of them when he was a supply teacher at my high school, next thing I knew I had met his (identical!) twin brother on the bus during the Summer break. If I hadn't lost contact, we would still be friends (he was one of those rebel-type teachers who talked to the kids just outside of school hours - long story).

The third one is controversial in some ways. I could expand on it to make it an absolutely pristine piece of descriptive/imaginative writing, maybe suitable for 13+, or I could take it down into alternate routes to make it more worthy of attention. I published some of it here, those of you who saw would know I am big on my imaginative descriptions and poetry....but I had to remove some of it, through decency. I could create 3 different versions of this one, just to access a larger range of people, but I am worried about the 'featured character' who happens to be a real person. I wouldn't want to cause any problems there. If it wasn't for this, then great! I would be able to publish this somewhere online right away. I would want to publish this in future anyway, as it involved a lot of effort and I really did spend a lot of time on it. I did not put names in it, so that should be alright; but asking will still be required. I also would not want it to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So many problems when writing. I have definitely chosen the right genre, just that there isn't much of an audience...or if there is, there is always another reason not to publish!

But anyhow, I still have some writing in the blog....mainly from January and such. That's evidence of how I use way too much vocabulary and really try to give it a nice, shiny finish.. maybe I should just release the work without concentrating on making it all into some kind of novel? After all, sometimes good things are found in small creations!
