It can be incredibly funny to read through. Especially if you picture your own characters doing the things suggested.

I am a planner type. So... for the proper story, I already have the plot to go.
Maybe for some extras. XD

I was never the planner type, but I've had so many novels fall through completely at around 25000 words that I've decided to plan this year.

None. I always look back and think "That wasn't a very good story was it?" as well.

No worries. I don't have much completed stories too. Because my motivation died down.

It is just the freshness of idea, the excitement died down.
This particular nano stories, still planning type, but I approach it differently.
This time, I set an ENDING. Which I never do for all my previous stories. They only have beginnings, but not endings.
I started this nano piece last year. Going to continue this year again.

Awesome! I think I have an ending as well. I also have a defined villain, and a setting. *gasp* it's probably my best planned story of all time.

Although now the motivation is not as fresh as first started.
But because of that ending, I still have some fuel, trying to finish it! :<

The Challenging part for me in writing is.
Write short story.
Finish A story.
Poem/lyric.

Personally I can't stand faffing about, so I tend to do quite a lot in quite a short span of time/words. That means that all my stories end up being quite short, and I have to pad them out and explain things.

If you have short story... doesn't it be easier to finish?
You should have more finished stories.

I still end up losing motivation... I get stuck and then just stop writing unless the story is very short. (Less than 10,000 words..)

lol. 10k is easy job for me. But I am such a detail person to chop my story down to 10k.
10k is just a chapter for me.

I often write stories that are only 500 words, just short drabbles for Fanfiction.

Ahh, I love fanfiction. It's a great way of exploring the "what if" of your favourite characters or worlds.

I had tried once with Harry Potter.
Then, before I could continue it, I hate how the story goes and ditch my love.

Fair enough. I like to write it for Mass Effect, Pacific Rim and Robin Hobb. 3 very different things, but it is a lot of fun.
