    I can't vote D:

    because I write stories, chapters you can call them, but end up not finishing them. But I do finish them in my head xD
    I have about 6 unfinished stories. ><

    My cycle: Think of it, prepare to write, write first chapter, read first chapter, realize how bad it is, throw it out.

    done =]

    Meh. I voted no, but that's because yeah, I don't finish, either. I stick to fanfiction, mostly, or original short stories. Multi-chapters...no. I don't know why, I just can't keep going...

    I write short stories. Holding all the plot essentials of a book, but alas, they're not long enough.

    This is my step-by-step writing solution...

    1) Come up with an idea
    2) Start typing it
    3) Send it to the recycling bin where all my stories eventually end up
    4) Stop writing stories for a long time...

    I write stories xD Just some times It takes me a bit of motivation to keep them going. Sometimes I'm a little slow on writing a chapter or so, Its normal

    Yes even though I got like 10 or even more unfinished stories. I'm righing one right now that is 2 chapaters long. Writing is my thing and they never get finished or get even an chapter till my new one. My new one has a name while the others don't even have one. This new story is called You Killed Them. I know why did I name it that because it was random. But I write many stories.

    I really only write stories and not actual novels. Most of my ideas are crap so I kinda abadon them. I have quite a few stories that I hope to make it into a novel but writing books isn't my total commitment. For instance, I have been progressing through this story for a few years or so... and I'm still in the beginning. So I do write books but they are just mainly just some short stories or something.

    I am working on my first novel. Expecting it to reach about 700 pages or something.... >.< I have never finished writing anything, but this is the first time I have too many ideas instead of not enough. I have a very unusual writing style though... I make descriptions, short and to the point. I hide away desscriptions and reveal them at later points, when I feel it is a chance to reveal more about the character. It's quite fun actually. Rearranging modern literature into my own image is the reason why I write, but as I said earlier I never finsih anything, I seriously hope I can make it to 2 chapters this time around...
