I'm joining a creative writing course in January, and was idly leafing through my MS's. I must have about a dozen half-finished manuscripts that only I know the endings of!
Does anybody else find themselves in the same situation? Collate them because you'll never know, someone might want them one day. Look at Jeffrey Archer - he published a compilation of short stories. I didn't think much of any of them, but then again, people paid to read his work.

Yeah, I've written quite a lot of half-stories on my computer...

People sometimes ask me where I get my ideas from. When I write, I tend to have the ending all worked out FIRST and then work backwards! I find that on the few occasions I am stuck for an idea I only have to browse the agony aunt column in a daily paper for a few minutes to get a realistic situation. The only two subjects I don't write on, because they tak up too much time and effort are history and porn. Thanks for the reply.
