Is it just me?

At work, I am a one-woman accomplishment machine, who can build a story in a few hours, creates systems out of thin air and makes things work.[Poll #1669623]

Mine were: Start with the most interesting, work through to the end and continue systematically, Start with the easiest, work through to the end and continue systematically, Start somewhere, work a bit there, a bit somewhere else, a bit all over the place, finish eventually, Come up with a BRILLIANT plan for something entirely different, Fall asleep

Sometimes I get motivated to do one and won't stop until the Heavens and the Earth quake with my awesomeness. Other times, it'll be years, not months before I go back to something and actually get it out of the way.

Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one who gets up to years in the tardiness stakes!

Nope, not the only one. I had one story take four years to complete. First because I was cowriting it with someone (they disappeared off the face of the Earth) and also had lots of rl things to do.

That's sort of the deal with this story's sequel. It's been almost 4 years and I have maybe a paragraph written of the sequel. This is why I can't believe there are prolific people out there. It boggles my mind.
