Weekly Check-In Post

How is everyone doing this week? Writing coming along well? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

For those of you who like to procrastinate by reading other people's writing tips and who could use a few more words on that Big Bang draft, I recommend How I Went From Writing 2,000 Words a Day to 10,000 Words a Day.

For those of you with a lot of spare time, there's the Absolute Write thread Learn Writing With Uncle Jim. It's geared more towards the professional-novelist side of things, but it's still good advice.

Hope you're having fun!

*hugs* Writing is a shit of a thing... but even when it's making us miserable, it's still something we really want to do, eh?

I'm sure you'll get your story to behave in plenty of time. *hugs again*

It can be so frustrating to absolutely love your story and think it's wonderful one day, and then find out you hate it and want to beat it with a stick another--and to really not know which is the truth!

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. *g*

I go back years later and read over stuff I've written and realize that some of it is good, and some of it really should be changed. Of course, years after the fact, if I changed it, no one would even notice. *g*

I think you're right. :)

I don't really go back over old mistakes and fix them...dunno if that's a good choice or not!
