My biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing projects are 1) actually pulling through and finishing stuff and 2) filling stories up, by which I mean, I have certain scenes crystallized perfectly in my head (and sometimes even written down), but they're unconnected, and coming up with the bits inbetween I have the most problems with.

I usually plot things out while I'm lying in bed, so I know too well the dangers of nodding off while I'm in the middle of a really great idea :p

It sucks - i get my best ideas while in bed for the night!

I just finished it. 10800 words. Now i need to edit the hell out what i've just written, as i doubt its really that good, and make sure I've achieved all the things i set out to do.

*collapse*

Funnily enough, plot isnt really my problem - i can plot things like mad, add 50 thousand loose ends in the first 10 pages that I have to tie up somehow later, and its weird how it just comes to me. Hell, i pulled off 64k completed novel in 3.5 weeks in November for nanowrimo... that was a wild ride, I'll tell you!

Hey, congrats on finishing it :) I keep meaning to join NaNoWriMo, but I don't know if I'd be able to stick to it.
