Do you ever get the feeling that something you wrote yesterday that you thought was pretty nifty looks awfully dumb in the cold light of day?
Maybe it's because it's Monday morning, and as per usual, i really don't want to be here. I use that excuse all the time though. More likely it has to do with me being full of myself for writing anything for the first time in months, sending it to Vali, and going Wow, shouldn't've sent that! Not that Vali wasn't a total sweetie and wasn't a 100% supportive; she was wonderful. It was that i looked back to what i'd just sent her and got very embarrassed. I gave a character an extra set of arms, for fuck's sake.
There are no octopi in slash! None!
((well, maybe just one...))
I worked all day on that and when i reread it again...yikes. I spent all day on that??? Sheepish, thy name is Mary. It just looked like crap. I think i shouldn't've sent it out so soon. It was like i burst my confidence bubble and got way ahead of myself. Let's face it, i'm the fanfic equivalent of pizza delivery: slow, cheesy, and cold when i get there.
Why couldn't Beth and I switch fates? I wouldn't mind if everything i wrote yesterday went ::poof::, swear to god. At my lowest, i think i'd feel better if i didn't show my stuff to anyone. They can just imagine how good it must be and don't have to see the reality.
Nevertheless! Our hero is not completely chastened by this little bump in the confidence-o-meter! I will trudge forth into the wilderness (and be left to the buzzards)! I will not let my mediocrity stop me!
I will rite gud! I wil lirn to spel corekly! I will rite in complete! I wil youse corekt punctuation
I will sukseed!!!
(So, in case you're wondering Vali and Beth, it's not quite 2/3's done anymore, LOL)
