it's not a secret that writing has been my passion since my grade school days... my sis meg, madonna and probably some of my former schoolmates can attest to how i love to scribble random things out of the blue... my lull moments are mostly dedicated to conjuring weird and outlandish thoughts and turning them a plot of some sort... it amazes me how a fairly innocent subconscious routine has turned into a regular favorite habit... i find myself lost in my own trance of thoughts while sitting inside a bus, staring into a computer, lying in bed or just simply walking by... the list of possible venues to hold my brainstorming sessions seems endless...
despite my blossoming love affair with words, there is glitch in the relationship... i can't seem to finish most of my pieces... i think i've only finished two stories, diwata (a beautiful ghost wandering the earth in search for her missing lover) and no ordinary love (yes it's cheesy simply because i wrote it back when i was just 10 years old) out of a gazillion plots i've constructed... i always start with a strong plot, write a few good chapters and then, viola! abrupt stop. it's weird that i have so much great ideas in my head and i have visualized how each stories will progress but can't seem to put them into writing... laziness, probably? lack of motivation? lack of time? it's annoying the hell out of me and there aren't a lot of things that annoy the hell out of me (as i consider myself incredibly patient and unreasonably tolerant)..
my point? i SHOULD start to finish the stories that i've started... i think this glitch has become a comfortable routine on my part... my fear is i might incorporate this glitch in some aspects of my life which i don't want to happen... i don't want to be tagged as "ms. as good as her few early chapters"... i want to rekindle the feeling of finishing a good story and sharing it with people... i MUST finish what i'm writing...
