To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

Also, my stories tend to get very few comments; and many of them are quite negative and/or aggressive to boot.

To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

Oh man, so I've been working on a story that's longer than normal for me. I'm 2/3 through the third last chapter and I'm getting writer's block. Even though I know what's supposed to happen from now on in a lot of detail. (Probably because of that.) Right now, I think the only thing that's keeping m...

To Finish (and post) or to Post (before you finish)

I'm definitely in the post before I finish camp - it's getting feedback and knowing that people want to know how it turns out that keeps me motivated.
