Incidentally, the longer I wait to start, even for the best intentions - like wanting to flesh out an idea that really needs it, say - the less likely it is to happen, no matter how much I love the idea and how clearly I see it.
...I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. i wonder if it's because the instinct to edit as you write can cripple you? or maybe it's because the idea is so perfect in your head that you agonise yourself to death while writing it and get no where? i mean, it's the perfect fic! so EVERYTHING has to be right! and so you edit and edit and rewrite and rewrite and plan and set things up and then... it never gets finished ):
(it may have been hard to write but can't go home again is basically amazing, so, yay? XD)
also i love how a meme about writing means there are writing snippets. it's like, Hey, Have A Magical Surprise On Mer! \o/
