In the beginning there is a blank page and along comes an Author. The Author seeks into the primordial ooze of imagination and finds and idea. After roasting it for a proper amount of time, the idea is found good... and it is written.
The question becomes.. what is the proper amount of time? I have stories I can kick out in a few hours -- little one shot flash fiction type things that need no editing to speak of -- and I have stories that I have been working on for nigh on twenty years.
One story in particular keeps cycling back to the forefront of my mind every so often. This is actually one of the first stories I ever wrote with a real plot and real characters and they live in my mind at times so real I could see them... sighs, really, I'm not that crazy.
I know I've been focusing on a lot of other things, but should I take time out of my schedule next year and kick this one around some more? Or should I just leave it alone and see if it will die a natural death?
