This is a repost of Multitasking with a different heading.
I have a complaint/gripe/bitch/whine.
Authors, the majority are pretty good seem to multitask too much, for me any way.
An author who has 50+ stories entered here, 16 of which are "in progress" and two of those are "incomplete/abandoned".
Just think of the reader satisfaction he would actually spend time FINISHING a story before heading off on a tangent.
A couple of the stories were actually started 9 YEARS ago and are still active and being added to. If he would actually finish one of the stories that are hanging fire, he would probably finish more stories in the long run.
Don't get me wrong, he's good. The stories are good. I personally don't feel like investing YEARS of my life waiting on him to actually finishing a story.
The same goes for all the other prolific writers out there who feel that having numerous stories out there without being complete shows talent. To me it just shows the attention span of a chipmunk on crack. Finish the frickin' story. Get the feedback and correct as necessary.
Just sayin'
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Oh, Ihave a couple of stories here, not as good as a lot of others, but I refuse to post one with out it being complete.
