    I'm stumbling along a dark flight of stairs and I don't know if I'm going up or down, anybody see a rail, or a light switch?

    I have begun my official umpteenth (unpublished- nothing of mine is because my lack of self confidence always catches up with my enthusiasm and I always end up quitting) story. I really don’t want to quit on this one because it has the potential to be beautiful. Because it is based on a fantastically delicious dream I had, I only have bits and pieces of a whole story. I’ve got a beginning, and middle. I have to have and end before I write. I’ve written stories before where I haven’t had an end and, well, now they still don’t. I don’t want to talk to friend or family about this because it’s too personal. My writing is more personal to me than anything else. I’d rather be seen standing naked at the dog park than to let people know what I’m working on. Is there anyone in this 70 some odd numbered group that would care to chat with a want-to-be novice?

    Stories without endings are fun because you can discover so many wonderful things along the writing journey. You just need to spend time with your characters, allow them to be true, and see where they take you. They probably want to resolve the story just as much as you do, but in their time. All easily said by a writer with just as many unfinished projects.
