Way to feel inadequate

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... :(

*g* Thanks, hon.

I didn't mean to whinge, and I wasn't fishing for compliments, I was just having One Of Those Days, but it's lovely to read the nice things people have said (although I'm fighting hard to accept the compliments gracefully and ignore my very British inclination to be embarrassed by them!).

I'm not sure whether I'm more frustrated by the fact that I feel I don't have the *time* to get the focus to write a long story (one day I'll go away for a weekend all alone and just *write*), or if it's that I'm very aware that almost every single piece I write, however short, is actually part of a much longer story in my head - it's so often as though I'm writing scenes from the longer piece. Which is probably why I end up writing series of things - they start out as a scene and then grow, because there was more in my head all along.

I couldn't do challenges or BBs either, because I have to write what I need to write at any given time. Which is why I have so many WIPs (I'm still chipping away at the mpreg stories, which will surface one day, probably when I've finished with hookers...).
