Arting Harder at the Pen Monkey Toiling Pit (Celebrate Them Pages Pt III)
moon:
So a few months ago I shelved an almost finished first draft of my project for the last yeat and a bit
the ending is too obviuse so I wont write it
its no longer fun as a project
its also way too short
but I will not get rid of it
I may come back to it one day
and there are concepts in it that I am going to use in other projects in the futour
I defently learned a lot trying to write it...
learning and enjoying the creative outlet is why I write
so yay
(the yay is me quoting neuro ;)) )
I have started a new project
this is a syfy short story
its a few 1,000 words
again learning not sireuse peace... but will also use what I already know to write ti
one day I might write something that wont make me cringe when I read it...
good luck

Most writers cringe at their first draft. It's in the editing where ugly stones become diamonds. The first trick, and the hardest, is to finish something, no matter how badly it stinks. From there you craft it into something you don't want to bury in the yard.

maybe one day I will write the ending and have time to think about edditing it
but I need something creative to do...
editing feels like work.... and is not fun
if I don't write the ending then I can have fun with it later
if I wanted work I would ask for more homework....
plus its so bad it might be worse then twilight (only with less kissing and sparkily vampires....)
okay its not that stupid.... but still reading it makes my head hurt....
(there was a point I was reading it and realised I forgot that gravaty was a thing and had to fix it and yeah.....) I can't write at 2am apparently

It's always work in the end, if it wasn't, everybody'd be doing it. And the harder it is, the greater the sense of accomplishment when you're finally done.

#amwriting. Love revising char intro scenes. After rough draft, I understand them. Fun to in their physical actions and appearances.
