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's hard to keep going sometimes, isn't it?

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! :<

What how long? Not sure how long when I finish it.
But currently it is at 120k words... approximately.

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.
