--- Quote from: Nickeris86 on February 22, 2012, 12:43:05 AM ---the problem is that I second guess myself so much while I write that I end up only getting a few hundred words down a day when I actually get around to writing.
Though it does not help that the only time I have to write is in the evening or weekends which is also the only time I have for friends and other fun stuff.
Sometimes wanting to be a writer sucks lol but I wouldn't want to be anything else.
--- End quote ---
got to give yourself permission to write the crud and then come back later, when its all finished and polish it up.

Right, getting the first draft down is the hard part....
After that, rewriting, and refining....well, that's even harder... :D
But seruously -- write and worry about making it better once you have something to work with. I have a mess of short stories and two novels that are partially written just for that reason....

Worse comes to worst, you can throw out entire scenes that you don't like and rewrite them with the first draft as practice behind you. As they say, the most important thing is to write and worry about finesse later.

After a long time, back to work on Merlin's Legacy. Right now, it's finishing it, then worrying about all the changes I'm going to have to make. Still, at 90,000+ words, it's not a bad size.... ;D
