I once tried writing a fantasy book...but never actually kept with it
Either I lost interest or the motivation. Most likly the motivation. If you have no motivation to continue to write, you'll end up doomed.

Sounds fair Myst though i wonder how do you lose motivation??

its either writing block, or the losing interest, or being sidetracked by other things.

I have published a poem collection a few years ago and I'm kind of proud of that

I am writing a novel, though it's been two years since I've started. It's not a fantasy novel so I'm having lots of problems and I find myself changing the story ever now and then so god knows if I'll ever finish and what quality the book will be. Hopefully at least I will like it

I really like to write stories, though I tend to never get more then a page or two. Always popping up these huge ideas, but the lack of ability to put it into text is irritating. I usually lose the grip quite quick, understanding that it won't work, since I never really think out the details before I start writing.

The thing that (probably) would fix this would be to write a mind map before I start writing. I've never had the interest in using mind maps for literature before, but it has come to my senses that it -will- help, and who knows, next time I get an idea that I want to work on, I'll start with the mind map -first-.

Writing a book is something that I absolutely have to do before I die anyway. Though (hopefully, and according to statistics) I still have some time left before that happens.


EDIT: Typos.

I write a lot of short stories, mostly fantasy stuff, but I've never thought about writing a book. I don't think I have the attention span for it.

Heh i used to think like most of you writing small stories or forget about the details; keep writing though it ussually the best thing to do!
