I am so, so tired.
Keep falling asleep in random places at random times. I'm getting too old for this late-night/early-morning stuff.
So, this little drabble fic I'm coughing up. I never write fic because I'm never satisfied with the results. I don't like the way I write dialogue, the way I describe ongoing action. It gets trite and boring, or over-blown, or just sloppy really fast. That's why I'm stuck writing my book, too. I have these excellent characters in my mind and a general idea of where I want the story to go, but it always sounds...just awful when I try to pin it down with words. Yeah.
I was really excited about this idea of mine, and so I tried to write it, and it doesn't sound like it should to me. I still like the idea. I just can't bring it to life the way I think it deserves.
It's depressing.
I'm going to sleep.
Love, I love your fic. You are amazing, and I love the way you write because it's so YOU and you are perfect as you are. You're like, perfectly you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, no one who writes well thinks he or she writes well or has good stuff that is alive most of the time.
That's all.
Awww, I totally understand about the being unsatisfied with the results of writing fiction, but then I think people who read a lot are often pretty critical of their own writing. It's important to remember that you have to write a lot before you can even begin to make it read like you want it to!
ReplyDeleteI think you're being too hard on yourself; I've immensely enjoyed reading your story! The dialogue is conversational, and not out of character. I'm looking forward to more blog entries!
Seriously, everything I say is stuff I TOTALLY WOULD SAY.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin'.
