[Writing]--Good and Bad
Aug. 18th, 2007 01:51 pmRandom writing-related things--
BAD: My story idea for Then... seems to have not so much hit a wall as just collapsed from lack of interest. I just wasn't feeling the story at all. Which of course makes me even more frustrated because I'm not doing ANY new writing right now. I need to start SOMETHING, and soon. I mean, aside from the major rewrite for Love Like Blood (more on that below). I need to be working on more, but nothing is coming, and it's pissing me off. Added to the fact that the damn war novel is continuing to tap me on the shoulder and whisper "just write me already, you lazy goofball!" every now and again.
GOOD: I have received a critique from a writing friend whom I'd done a critique for a few years back. Added to the fact that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon is reading it as well. The kinda-bad is that they (and to an extent me) are finding a LOT of stuff that needs work. The kinda-good about the kinda-bad is that I'm keeping an open mind about it and am definitely going to do what I can to fix it.
BAD: I'm contemplating getting rid of mydie_joncswerk site, as it's beginning to feel like a redundant site. I've been thinking about this for awhile (I've mentioned it in earlier posts), and I'm thinking it would probably make more sense. I'm most likely going to repost a lot of the older posts and backdate them onto this LJ, as it's just too much of a pain in the ass to go back and forth, and I don't update that site nearly as much as I should.
GOOD: And this is very good--With Emm and my friend Mo both tearing LLB apart, they have also given me some REALLY good ideas that I could put to very good use. One of them being a complete change from first person to third person. Which actually might make a lot more sense, and I could get away with a lot more, being that I'd be a lot less restricted. More on this later....
EDIT: LJ is being wacky so I'm going to post the poll in a separate entry. :p
