skeleton writing

I'm working on a new story. It started out as an idea for a short story but I'm only a little ways in, and it's already closing in on 6,000 words, meaning it will be closer to a novella when finished. If I finish it. I have a trend in my writing that the longer the piece is, the less likely I am to finish it. I hope I can finish this one because I am very interested in seeing what happens to my characters.

Well, right now I am basically writing the skeleton of my story. For me, the ideas of what's happening next are coming too quickly for me to spend forever on details and description without loosing the plot to come, so I skimp and write ahead with plot. Then later as I re-edit, I will add more description, and basically flesh it out. Here's to hoping I stick with it long enough! Haha.
