Last year, I started to work on a story that I then had to set aside when other things took my time. Now I thought about getting back to it, only to discover there's a crippling flaw with the setting and a major plot element that makes no sense whatsoever. How did I not realize that immediately? Thank god I didn't keep at it last year or attempt to share it with anyone. Some ideas just aren't ready to be born as they are.

What are your writing related nightmares? I fear I will make 0 shekels with my stories in life, but after I die and copyright expires, Hollywood snipes them and makes some shoddy movie adaptations filled with miscast characters that completely butcher the message and themes. Their calculated promotion engine ensures the movies make billions, and everyone in the world thinks I actually wrote that garbage the way it is on purpose.
