I'm just wondering, how many stories/novels have ya'll written? how many pages were they, and what did you title them?


I've done 2 so far sweatdrop the first one was 2,000 some odd pages, and I called it "The rise and fall of the Wicked" ((It's better then it sounds...that is, if you think that sounds bad))

And the second one, I'm working on it now, but, I dont have a title for it sweatdrop

Post away, yee writers!
I've never written a novel but I've written over 20 short stories.
I have 4 unfinished ones.
3 are short stories, mainly continuation of other ideas I liked from my main novel that just didn't fit in with it. Don't know if I'll ever finish those.
I've actually written plently of stories. I've only actually finished one though. It was actually more of a short story than a novel.
Well, I've started about 10 bakazillion, but I've only ever finished two. The most recent was in 10th grade, and the one before that was in 8th. The first one was utter, complete crap, and the second was none too fabulous either, but the concept at least still has potential. Since then I've been tossing around ideas and spending much more time planning than actually writing.
It dpends what you class as a novel and if you include fanfiction. 59 pieces of fanfiction, 8 of which consist of more then one chapter. Of these, two are greater then or equal to 100k. Four more are greater then or equal to 50k. I also currently have 7 completed short stories, one completed novel at over 50,000 words (nano won) and another novel I won nano with at about 60,000 words that isn't finished and isn't going to be finished.

Completed ones, Just 1. I have another.. 2 novels in progress that I feel I CAN complete, and I've written about 15 one-shot short stories.
I have an awful habit of starting stories and never finishing them... and then losing them. gonk I kinda finished one story, but since it's in a series it doesn't really cound and I have no idea how long it was. I put that aside and have been working on a book for over a year now. It's almost 180 pages. Blarg, I haven't been writing lately, but that's beside the point. Other than that, I wrote a bunch of short stories.
I have finished writing 2 novels (over 200 pages), hundreds of songs and poems, at least 10 novelettes (between 50 and 200 pages), and somewhere around 75 short stories (under 50 pages). I'm currently working on my third novel and it is, in my opinion, my best work to date. With the exception of some of the better passages, my first two novels are complete crap. Its so bad that I'm almost ashamed to say that I wrote them. crying
I'm still working on my first novel. I haven't come up with a title yet, but I've got a title in mind. I have written several short stories, though.
I always get a major writers block in the middle of a novel, then go and start on a new idea razz . So far, I've either trashed or integrated all my idea's for an actual novel into one plotline that will take forever for me to unravel... I will be crazy by the end of this razz

confused 2,000 words is hardly a novel ...

I've written three stories over 90,000 words. To me this constitutes a novel-length story. One is barely over that limit, the others are well over. Of course, these were written over the course of six years. I have three currently in progress works of questionable length, but as they are not anywhere near finished, I refuse to assign a length to them.
I want to say that I've written close to 30, which is kinda true because I've got about close to 30 different works all written up from when I was in junior high and high school. The problem is now that I've grown up and my writing abilities and concepts have evolved, I don't really regard anything in that collection as a true novel based on one-dimensional characters with plotlines that, while full of twists, aren't complex or thought-provoking. I kinda look at them as my "proto-novel" collection, and yes the usual shame of knowing I once sucked is strong with me. crying

Now on the side of serious novel-writing, I technically finished one but am going back to revising it, and am close to two-thirds complete with writing my second one. The first one is over 140,000 words and will most likely touch 150,000 when it's revised completely, and the second one is presently close to 75,000. Bottom line: the printer is going to hate me someday. sweatdrop
I've written one short story (around 8000 words) which was titled "I trailed my hand across the sky with one foot on the ground". It was for an English Major in school, and I couldn't be bothered changing the draft title so I stuck with that one xp . I'm working on one one novel which is composed of two parts, so it'll end up being two novels worth by the end of it. Possibly more since I don't exactly know when or how it's going to end. That work has three spinoff short-stories, the title for one of which is "Lamentations for a dying song". That's about it though. I've started about half a dozen random things but I never finished them.

Garbage

I know I've finished one... A sequel to the Tolkien trilogy, averaging a chapter a month for three years starting when I was ten years old. It was "pretty damn good for a ten-year-old" (translation: it sucked). I also started writing four or five sequels to that, based on my main character's children and grandchildren, but I only ever finished one, if any. I lost chapters 1-12 of the original and it's been years since I turned on the computer I had them all saved on.
