I'd have to, because I honestly can't write more than 100 words or I start to ramble so much, it all becomes an incoherent mess. That sentence being a hot example of why.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

I sometimes think a series of connected short stories is the only way I'll get something novel length finished.
Thanks, Amy. I figured you'd know.

A lot of really good "novels" have been a series of connected short stories. The Dying Earth.
Don't know if the Gray Alys stories were ever separated out from Martin's other work and published as a novel, but they certainly could have been. "You can buy anything you might desire from Gray Alys. But it's better not to. ..."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
uggh. I just lamented in my LJ. I hit that point where I'm embarassed about every word I've written and sorry I put any hopes and/or dreams in it.
Right about time. Halfway through. Can barely keep my head on straight I'm so sad about it.
I hate this part of writing. It's even worse than a block.

I just went and reread the chapter. Seriously, I'd rather have a block than "I AM SHIT" on a continuous loop in my head.

Allyson, it may be time to step away from it. You are smart and funny and you can write - you may just need some time away from it to refresh your perspective.
