Alright...
Have you ever been writing a story that you almost immediately hate, but feel that you have to complete for whatever reason?
I'm working on this story, a horror story about a masked serial killer (original, huh?), but I don't like it; but, like Jack Torrance with his play in The Shining, I feel like I just have to complete it. The reason being, it is actually a very heavily revised version of my first real short story I wrote when I was 14 or 15 (that draft is just horrible). I should've finished it days ago, though I'm not far off. I'm working on a book of short stories & this is the last one I have to do, plus a frame story, and I think part of the problem is that, since I'm so close to finishing the book (I hope to get it published), I'm starting to fear the process of actually trying to get it published.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
Also, like I said earlier, feel free to post your own Have you ever... questions!
