Starting something you couldn't finish
Finnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

Another would-be author...
I started writing background histories for an online fantasy game* I was helping to create, and it gradually morphed into short stories, then medium stories, then a (large) book-sized book. It featured fast(ish, but still lumbering) zombies, and I finished it at just about the time when fast zombies became de rigueur, making me look like a cliched hack.
It's finished and online, which is something, and the couple of people who've read it seemed to approve - but I just can't be arsed to put in the effort of proofreading. Or slowing down the zombies.
Fuck you, Romero. Grr.
*Never finished the game, either, comes to think of it...
