Way to feel inadequate

[azziria]

God, I wish I could write long, plotty stories... all these people signing up to write 40k epics, makes me feel a bit useless sometimes... :(

have you ever tried writing with someone? If it's a good fit, it makes things SO EASY.

And it's not because you don't write super long stories that you're useless. I love reading well-written shorts, because they pack such a punch, too.

I know, I'm just having a momentary crisis of confidence here... I'll stop feeling sorry for myself in a minute and normal service will be resumed.

Except for one brief project back in my POTC days ( which actually worked very well, I have to say) I've always written alone. That's partly because it's hard for me to schedule in regular writing time, and partly because my brain flits around too much (although I can see that working with another writer might have a positive effect on the latter.

I suspect I've been a lone wolf too long, and am too much of a control freak...

I don't have the most regular schedule either but when there's a will, there's a way, right? I understand the control freak, though. It's really a personal thing - I love writing with someone but I can see why it's not to everybody's taste.
