Cause since I started thinking about it, I can't write my name.
I am paralyzed by my fear of not finishing my book. Rewrote the first 80 pages three times before finding a solution of sorts. The only way I'm able to work through it at all is to just say "Okay, if it's crap it's crap. Just WRITE."
Yay for shitty first drafts.
But that implies that there will be better next drafts.
Of course, Erika, though, I think the implication is that you can't get to a better second draft if you don't finish the first shitty one.
of course meant to imply that Erika always writes good things, ergo, second draft must be better, and not to sound patronizing and somehow I think I shouldn't post today.
No...I'm just neurotic. My spiritual mentor is a three-time loser at marriage who's always hinting darkly at corruption in high places. That is bound to affect a woman.
Deena - I owe you a huge apology. I didn't even get to open the file I got from you, let alone start reading. I'm really sorry (not least because I'm very curious to actually reading it already), and I will definitely try to correct this as soon as I possibly can.
This lack-of-time-ness is why I don't ask to read anybody else's work, I'm afraid, at least not in the near future, as much as I would love to.

Now I'm hearing this sung in Xander's voice.

bwah. "I'll never tell." "Am I really kinda phony? Or just a one-trick pony? If what I've written so disgusts me, no editors will trust me. No, no, I'll never tell."
...and I'll be over here.
Hee!
