But that implies that there will be better next drafts.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
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.

Swouncing
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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."

I'll let this go, but in a thread like this you can't neglect "Will my life become too stressful/ if I'm never that successful?" I'll never tell.
