Writing Short Stories

I had decided to try and start a project in order to get some actual writing done.  I wanted to take a page out of Jonathan Coulton’s book and write a short story every month.  (His was actually a song a week – I just don’t think I can manage to finish a story in a week’s time.)  My biggest problem is actually completing a story – most of my writing just trails off without finishing.  I decided to use one of my notebooks and an actual pencil to try and do my writing.  Now I think that may have been a mistake.  I really can’t drive myself to get anything written down, even though I had a strong idea for the story.  Now I think I’m going to stick to using my laptop – that’s definitely been a strong change for my blogging habits.  Plus it’s a lot easier on my finger.  Ever since I broke my middle finger on my right hand a couple of years ago it cramps up every time I write with a pen or pencil for any length of time.
