Unfinished Novels?
Do you have any or some? What's it about? Do you plan on finishing it?
Do you find it easier to start a piece of writing than it is to finish it?

I'm not sure I'll ever be an author, but I do have a compulsion to write.

Highly original, I know.
I can still see all the characters clearly in my imagination even though it has been a good 12 years since I last wrote in those pages.

Sometimes you just realize partway in that a storyline just won't ever go anywhere.
Sometimes you just don't have enough hours in the day to get to them all...time is precious, and must be used on the work you believe the most in.

I remember, however, starting a novel around middle school and it was about a slave girl who escapes with her mother to the North - that's been done - a lot. So I dropped it. I still have it though - just for amusement and what not but I have so many other novels that are more important so that's my direction.
Wow. That's so true. And yes, it is a huge shame to go to all that work and not even finish it. I'm so happy, though because the novel that I started in 7th grade has finally reached it's first draft - so even if I don't get to the final copy it will still be finished one way or another. It hit a huge dormant stage though, and for a long while I thought it died but then I picked it back up again. I think it's worth it to finish one unfinished novel, though - it's a great accomplishment - even if you don't get published.Kyle22 wrote: There's probably more unfinished novels in the world than finished ones. It's a shame to put so much work into a novel and then not finish it.
