Well... it's official..

I think I can safely say now that my fanfic Boros Bound is dead in the water, an ex-fic so to speak.

As a novice writer, I made the same mistake as those that have gone before me, I let the fanciful flight of my imagination lead me and in doing so, my story has lost both structure and direction. I am literally lost at sea.

I tried using the Sereni-Tree as a testing ground for my ideas but they got tangled. I wanted my fic to be MY words and ideas, but the more I put into the thread, the more I couldn't separate them.

This is no knock on the writers on the Sereni-Tree thread, quite the opposite. Their input was too good to leave out. In fact, their input made my ideas better, in most cases.

So that’s my dilemma. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on giving up writing, I'm just putting it on the back burner for a while. I'll continue to hone my skills on the threads and wait for inspiration, or the elusive vein of butterscotch, to reappear.
