My main problem is that my mind is too active. I start writing a story then my mind jumps to another scenario that excites me. I have to start writing that one before the thought fades. As a result, I've got 12 to 15 half written stories. Some are two years old. I do pop back to them but then get distracted again.

A great artist said to the young artist, "Why does your portfolio have so many unfinished projects?"

The reply: I don't know how to proceed. And I don't want to ruin what I've done.

The advice: Finish them! That's how you learn. The principle value of what we do is to learn to do better. Before you do anything else, finished something you've started.

Ok, that's probably good advice. The young artist involved (I knew her) did finish her projects from then on. But I have oh, 25 unfinished stories for this site. I have a very hard time revisiting. The newer stuff occupies all my writing hours! There's just no time.

Thank you for this story!

I am looking forward to your next chapters.

After having just published my first story on Literotica (Loving wives, of course…), I can easily understand the rollercoaster when reading the comments - from oh so witty to oh so stupid.

I appreciate your work and look forward to other stories from you as well.

So glad you're back. LW is the worse for the loss of your light touch

I've missed your wonderful stories. And thanks for your thoughtful essay.

I know that pain. Most of my unfished ones are even older.

"The advice: Finish them! That's how you learn. The principle value of what we do is to learn to do better. Before you do anything else, finished something you've started."

Something to consider, but I probably won't do it.

Then there are those that skimmed the story, and totally missed what happened. Thanks for your encouragement and support.

"So glad you're back. LW is the worse for the loss of your light touch"

It's comments like these, and people who like what I write, that keep me going.

"I've missed your wonderful stories. And thanks for your thoughtful essay."

My thanks to you as well. I enjoyed your stories, and I understand there are reasons to stop writing here. If you ever post another though, I'll eagerly read it.
