I've been on this site for a looooong time. So long that my style of writing has changed dramatically. I mean, I came here in 2008, when I was *does math real quick* 14 or 15 years old. I'm 19 now and I just look at my old work and sometimes just shiver in disgust. I've matured and so had my ability to write and use a larger vocabulary.
However, I feel like since I'm getting older, I don't have enough left in me to write a full fledged story like I could when I was younger. Don't get me wrong, as an author I have so many ideas floating around in my head Stephen King would be jealous (Not really, but it's a simile), but I just don't feel like I could honestly finish them all.
I have a hard time writing my ongoing story that has taken me five years to write because it's something I'm not really into anymore. The story is my baby, but I've been working on it for so long as my taste changed and now I want to break away. I want to write about something else, but damn it, I need to finish this story. I feel like it's hindering me and my writing.
But then comes the problem with never being able to finish a long story and I feel like I'm stuck. Then I was thinking "Maybe I can just be a One-Shot Queen?". I think that would totally fulfill what I want to do. I would be able to write maturely and wouldn't have to worry about giving up on a story because I got bored, because they would be one to three chapters long.
The only problem with that is that I am not good when it comes to thinking of a plot that can be explained in one to three chapters. My mind is in "Famous Author" mode all the time. So I think I would need help when it came to ideas. Anyone want to help?
