You're welcome ^_^ I know what it's like to have just an opening or a single scene and some ideas for a great story but you don't want to fuck it up so you hesitate to write it.

But don't be worried. As Stephan King said, "sometimes we do our best work when we think all we've done is shovel shit in a sitting position." <3

thanks for the lama btw! :D (Big Grin)

That's certainly true. With some fragments, not knowing where they belong just doesn't matter, while others just keep coming back at you.

The most frustrating are the ones where you have both ends. A story's meant to be a bridge. Bridges are not meant to have gaping holes in the middle.

But like you said...

Very very true. And I like that idea. ^_^ and I know what that's like I'm currently working on a novella/story that I had the idea for a few years ago but due to school etc. Didn't get to do it the way I wanted. Now I go back and there's a great opening, great ending, decent middle but a few giant gaping holes covered by straw mats xD
