Too cool for subject

I don't think a WIP would work for me for the simple fact that I'm not confident enough with my writing to let anyone else see it (except for my beta's) until I'm more or less satisfied with it myself. The other reason is that I'd feel committed to posting regularly when I know that RL wouldn't let me be that flexible and I'd get the guilts over not posting quickly enough - but that's just me :-)

If you're thinking about a WIP, why not give it ago and see if it suits your way of writing. As Bev said, some of her most satisfying stories have come out of WIP's.

Good Luck!

"I'm not confident enough with my writing to let anyone else see it ..."

Whoah!!! But your writing is brilliant! Now you're making me nervous about bearing my metaphorical bottom in public...

Having said which, I've decided to experimentally have a crack at it. I'm setting up a closed community for the auction story I'm writing (principally so Sue, whose story it is, can't log in and see it ::G::). I can't guarantee to be a regular as RL is really getting in the way of important stuff like fic writing right now, but... if anyone's interested in watching the progress of my fevered ramblings - just let me know and OI'll add you to the list.

Epp, sorry, didn't mean to make you feel nervous. Nervous writing belongs to me :grin: and you'll do way better than okay. Even if I write until I'm 102, I think I'll always have some reservations about what I've written - human nature, I guess. But I say give the WIP a try and see how you like it and I'd love to be added to the list, if that's okay :0)

Oh, and thanks for the compliment. I'll try and live up to it before I turn 102 - LOL

Jess, I already invited you, but you may have missed it so I'll do it again.
