I have several stories that I’m working on. When one is hitting a slump, I move to one of the others. This results in reasonably productive sessions, as I always have something I can add to. So if I conjure a nice sentence, metaphor, or similar, I usually have somewhere I can fit it.
As for others finding it… meh. I write for my own enjoyment. I write the way I cook: I do my own thing, because I know what I like. Once others are involved, there’s too much hazzle. I have three stories that recently passed 100k word count, and I would dread having to deal with editors, marketing, and everything else that doesn’t simply involve world building or putting letters on a page. And most of all: Readers.
Once upon a time I made a few music pieces I created available to the general public, and I could run into a complete stranger who would tell me that they’d heard my stuff and liked/hated it. That was reasonably fine, but most people kept assuming I made it for something beyond the fun of making it in the first place. In short, feedback complicates the entire creative process. I learned my lesson. My writing stays with me.
But what I can share, are the (working)titles:
…just assume they’re about your favorite subject, and that they’re the funniest/scariest/most exciting stories you’ve ever read, and that the author died 200 years ago.
