Could it be?

I'm wondering tonight after reading antennapedia's most recent entry if part of my problem with being a writer is the same as my problem being a programmer. That large scale ability to see the whole, the complexities of a project and to know how to fit them all together-- I never had that. I could solve small, kindergarten really, problems and set scripts

Good luck! I honestly think sitting down and writing every day really does help. I still love your Script Frenzy idea, too.

As someone told me when I was in college, if you write a page a day, in a year you will have written a novel.

Not every story has to be big. The wonderful thing about fanfic is that you're dealing with established characters and settings. This makes short fics very powerful. Have you ever tried writing five things fics? Drabbles (100 words exactly)? Vignettes? You might find them bot easier for you and less intimidating.
