Somewhere In Between

I have a story on fictionpress called Ramblings of an Ex-Emo Kid (Warning: M/M slash hints of sexual happenings) and I'm wondering if I should give it a rewrite and possibly revamp it into it a multi-paragraph shebang. I had a review from a lovely member already who sort of suggested that I do so. I'm not sure if I should or not, though. I can see it's potential, I'm just terrible at actually continuing things. I do think that I just need a set of characters to really fall in love with to get it to flow for me. I tried writing Reason to Believe but that pretty much died. I'd like to rewrite that as well because I feel like I need to do it justice, and that I had good ideas just failed on the execution. Reason to Believe is something that I need to do second; I'm not sure why I feel that way, but I do think that I need to grow more as a writer to fulfill it's true potential. Either way, I'm starting University this fall and I would really like to finally complete, or at least get a good start on, a full length story. Although that will probably just add to my school load, I think it's important to me and that setting it as a personal goal will hopefully help me attain it. I'm completely rambling now, but I do think that Ex-Emo could be turned into something way better than it is currently. Basically the point of this is, am I completely bat shit crazy or should I just go for it? I'm so torn, help me!

I joined LiveJournal mostly because it seems like everyone from Fictionpress has moved here. I find it really sad and pathetic that so many people have been wracked by plagiarism lately. Either way though, I'm kind of excited to start something new, and I will hopefully actually start a journal on here. I've tried many ways of doing that (on paper, just using Microsoft Word, other blogging programs) but already I feel like this is better than anything else.

Hope to write again soon,
