I only like my writing if i finish it...

because if i am writing something, and it starts to suck... i will either stop there or throw it out or try to rewrite-it from square one... but if i actually finish a piece, then i have found something that i liked about it enough to keep writing...

unfortunately, i only finish about 1 out of every 5 or so ideas i start writing... so i've come to the conclusion that most of my ideas suck... =P

-peace out

There's just always something that can be improved in my writing, and that bothers me.  For example, the story that I'm writing now.  I wrote the first chapter and was initially pleased with it.  Upon rereading, I was still alright with it, but now I see where I should have fleshed that out and where that piece of dialogue is awkward and blah blah blah...

So I fixed it.

And then I reread it.

And that needed to be reworked and that wording was awkward and ew why did I change that it sounded WAY better the first way and so and and so forth.

It's a neverending freaking cycle!  Haha.

i enjoy the process of writing... i only let other read the final product because it's fun
English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
