Well. I was going to work on a short story this week (I've had several recent sales put a dent in my backlist, and so I feel like I should bang out a couple more besides the ridiculous thing I did a couple of weeks ago). But the novelthing is shaking its finger at me and saying "You know you want to finish those edits. Right? Right???"

The idea of this short story (which is kind of a fantasy-novelist version of "Castle" only his novel opens a rift between dimensions) amuses me greatly, and I really want to write it. But then I open the doc and sit there staring at it, fingers idle on the keyboard. There may be drool.

I also have another Thing I should be expanding into a novel. But every time I look at it I break out in hives. Novels intimidate the hell out of me.

So here I sit. Paralyzed. Stupid brain.

Sorry. I'm in the same boat. I had this fic idea while I was driving to Houston. I had the whole thing planned out. But so far I've written exactly two paragraphs and now I don't know what to write next. The blank white pages are taunting me.

I'm 400 words into the thing and know exactly what happens next. It's maddening. And I know I just need to make my fingers type the words, but there's some kind of block there.

I have a write-in tonight at my local coffee shop. Maybe I can break it loose there.

I'm the other way around. I have problems with short fiction. Trying to fit a satisfying story into a small space is what's intimidating to me.

Apparently I naturally think small. I wrote my first completed novel wholly by accident--as in, I didn't start out to write a novel, it just sort of... grew. I'm still not entirely sure exactly how I wrote the second one, even though I outlined it as a novel and everything.

If this short morphs into a novel, I am going to be very put out. I already have four novels on my plate and do not need another one. Like, for serious, I do not.
