More on Genius Writing

Just for a lark I picked up Anne Lamott's Bird By Bird. I do not find her an inspirational writer, especially when I start reading her experience of every first draft being absolutely wretched. I've had a hot and cold week. After getting back home after a family emergency I wrote two first drafts. These weren't really brainstorms, they were full drafts, beginning, middle, and end. The whole story appeared to me at once.
However, two other stories fizzled. One story is about a mobile home taxi cab in a world without airplanes. I've tried to write this one several times and started over and the thing just fizzled out after a few hundred words. Nothing fancy, but it is probably a story that I will have to wait to write later, or write it in different chunks, out of order. The other one is one of two new ideas that also fizzled. Bogged down in dialogue. Ah well. I think I started writing so much dialogue that the workshop voices made themselves heard and the 'talking head' death knoll sounded. I might have to do a full brainstorm without dialogue to get that one out.
So I have no new rules for writing to share, but maybe they are rules. Let stories tell themselves, and let the story dictate when it needs to be written. Don't let an unfinished draft sit for too long; either start over completely, or make sure you are in the same voice as the first writing when you are ready to continue. Several writers have rules like "finish what you start" and "only work on one thing at a time." These are good rules, and I try to follow them, but I am openly and knowing breaking them.
What do I do when a story fizzles? If I just run out of words for the day, I research markets or I go read a few of the online markets. This can be a dangerous thing. I just read Abimagique by Lucius Shepard over on SciFiction, and it is so damn good but different from what I write, my reaction (as a writer) was "I'll never be this good." That's not a healthy reaction. Shepard has been successful, at least, if I had his list of published works I'd think of myself as successful. But I have a different voice, a different set of experiences, and I don't want to move my audience so much as make them think.
Okay, one rule: Never write witht he goal of winning an award. Writers of the Future, Nebulas, Hugos, etc. Leave them out of your head. Write for you, and sell it. I'm still working on that last part.
