writing and other stuff

[cornerofmadness]

Sometimes I must do, buy candy. My new pill is helping with my blood sugar but this is twice this week along, it's dropped it so low that it could have been fatal without sugar on hand (diabetes is lovely isn't it). I'm still shaking from the effects. Sigh. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. Luckily i have strawberries and dark chocolate on hand.

Luckily I found the bulk of my missing novel in a folder that I took home for Christmas. Dont know where it went off the main story but at least I got nearly 10K of words back. And I started rereading my second Nano novel so I could do these original fic prompts and you know what, for something written that fast, it's NOT that bad (I had no idea I had made it to 9 chapters) Sometimes I go back and reread and think god, that was crap. But on rare occasions I go back and read and say, you know what I'd buy this if I read a blurb. Or maybe that's just my Hubris talking

that's me right now. I'm trying to get all the players on the stage and it's like wow this sucks bad. The rest of the story doesn't suck like this

Writing is a journey from suckiness to non-suckiness.

Assuming you don't go backward.

and sometimes you do. As silvrethorn pointed out its easy to let's say rush the climax and sometimes editors let this slide. I just finished rereading Howl's Moving Castle after many years and it's like WOW that ending was bad.
