How many unfinished works are sitting in your hard drive?

Or notebook?

Not just ideas, but stories that you've started and not finished for whatever reason?

I just counted, I think, 11 on mine. I also have at least half a dozen plain ideas -- just a character sketch, or a what if, or a random scene -- that I haven't developed at all.

So, what's on *your* hard drive?

    Six. I counted this morning as I went off to work instead of fininshed anything.

    I have one that I'm getting more accomplished on right now. This is keeping my optimism, whether valid or misplaced, alive.

    Good luck and inspiration to all!

    About 3 stories I can't go anywhere with, but for inspiration and in hope something will 'piece together' or 'click'. In all, I have about 11, including planning on stuff I didn't bother start yet. Im working on an adventure novel just now and so far so good apart from the fact that i am 13 so have school and other activities alot.

    I have one work in progress that I try to touch at least once a day. I have seven others that are in various states of completion (really close to the mid points). I have thirteen that have huge chunks completed but that I don't think have any real merit so I've abandoned them almost completely but will probably re-write some of the sections to include in my other works in progress.

    As for random stuff I've probably got over 50 scenes and characters sketches, a few really great sentences that I love as well as lists of vocabulary, names of females, males, last names, towns, world building exercises, research on demons, mythology, history (mostly of the ghostly variety) and technical employment jargon. I've got names for fantasy characters, and weapons and space ships, pages of research and links for star trek information as well as beasties and ghoulies, faes and the Tuatha Danann.

    I think I spend an inordinate amount of time on research now but I'm hoping in the end it will pay off.

    I have 4 on this computer, but only one of them really seems to be going anywhere. I also have a couple of older ones on my old computer that I don't feel like retrieving because they really weren't that worth it. Plus I have plenty of other random ideas floating around my head from time to time that haven't been written down yet.

    Two: About an amnesiac superhero

    Four: About a gay inner-city romance based on Romeo & Juliet

Get your coach to be sure which you have that imaginary line down from ear, shoulder, hip and heel, and from the bit by skill of way of to the elbow. that's the suited function. additionally, on a similar time as you walk around the area attempt to hold your hips swinging with the rhythm of the horse. Now choose up your reins (a demonstration to the horse that we are actually going to perform a little element wonderful), squeeze gently forward into trot and as quickly as greater carry those hips swinging to take up the leap. shop your self right away in spite of the shown fact that look at to no longer stressful up. grab a handful of mane, or a neck strap with one hand to everyday your self for people who have faith unbalanced and now no longer the horse's mouth. additionally ask in case you will have the skill to have some lunge training on a everyday horse so which you will have the skill to hearken to on your function and balance and now no longer the handle. do no longer concern it's going to take time, in spite of the shown fact which you will get there - and a few horses are greater comfortable than others. keep in mind, the secret's interior the lower back and the hips.

    I finish stuff. It may not be good, but it's done.
