Writing is hard. But harder than writing is wrapping up and actually finishing a story. I seem to have a lot of ideas, a lot of interesting set ups. But starting with that set up, and coming up with a full length story with a sensible plot is harder. That's one of the reasons why many of my stories are unfinished.
Having said that, there's the regular road blocks: time, motivation, etc... However at the end of the day I think I write for myself more than anyone else, and hopefully I'll be able to keep doing this. This is specially important given that the community for this particular "niche" is unfortunately not very active.
Should I keep starting stories even if they might never be finished?
Should I focus on creating a fully fledged "world" and just writing snippets in that "world"? (The world from "Deep Freeze" comes to mind)
Enough ranting for today... take care every one!

Tonight on our show (part 1)
"Yes, you can wear it during this upcoming winter, yes you can wear it when it starts to snow. It will keep you warm, and it will keep you protected, but it makes you feel so feminine, so trim. I'm wearing the blue one, and Karla is getting into the gray one. I sweat when I wear this coat, I'm sweating right now. And you can get this beautiful coat today on a special introductory price. We have it in black, gray and this beautiful blue I'm wearing."
"It's really warm, are you hot, Susan?"
"Yes it's really warm ... uff ... I'm boiling in this. But it's a really cute. Can you see this? These are all princess seams, all of this pleating will keep you looking feminine while protecting you from the elements. It is a puffer coat, that's designed to keep you looking great, but also keep you warm and protected from the elements. So flattering!"
"Susan, can I zip you up?"
"Uhh... ok Karla..."
"It's a longer coat, around 38 inches length. It is filled with premium down, so you know it will keep you warm. It will keep you toasty when you're waiting for the bus, seating in the bleachers watching a football game, or just running around town running errands. The outer shell is made out of a gorgeous polyester taffeta, it's water resistant! Just for good measure let me pull up Susan's hood up so that you get the full picture. Look at this beautiful hood."
"Ohh wow... It's a really thick and warm hood. And look at this lush faux fur trim."
"Remember our operators are standing by. This coat won't last long. Thanks for watching and remember to join us same time tomorrow for another hour of 'Cozy and Cute', here on ShoppingTV."
"Uff, glad we wrapped that up. I was sweating out there. Let me strip out of this coat... like right now!"
"Yeah I know, you were looking quite balmy, Susan. Why did you wear that thick turtleneck?"
"It wasn't my choice, when I went to wardrobe this morning, it was the only thing Cristina had out for me to wear. But I feel like ripping out."
------------------------------
"Hi Megan, can I talk to you for a few minutes..."
"Sure Susan, please come in. Tell me, what's on your mind?"
"I wanted to ask you... Can I get assigned to shows other than winter coat ones? I would like a little more variety, plus I've been getting really hot under the studio lights while being bundled up."
"That's probably because you've been putting on the pounds."
"What...!?"
"Well, it seems for whatever reason, Kim Danelle really likes you, therefore we're actually going to keep you ONLY doing outerwear shows for the time being. You've been underperforming in all of the shows in which we've put you in. However the Kim Danelle brand is big business here at ShoppingTV, so I need to keep her happy. You'll keep hosting 'Cozy and Cute', 'Toasty Trends' and 'Kim Danelle Apparel' . As a matter of fact, Kim actually sent you a holiday gift. I think it's outside my office. It's some big heavy box."
"Ok."
"And keeping on with your personal ... 'image'... we're going to make sure you're dressed properly... and dare I say... modestly. Don't worry, we will make sure that your image aligns with the image we need in our network. Anything else I can help you with, Susan?"
"Ohh... No... Thanks... Megan."
"It's really warm, are you hot, Susan?"
