So... about them stories · 2:00am Sep 4th, 2012
Heh, I did say I'd get around to submitting my old write-off entries, didn't I? Well, I did just now post one and sent it off to EqD (who knows if it'll actually pass) but the other one will actually require a decent amount of work to make presentable. The judges tore it to shreds, and with good reason, but something about it really appealed to people, or it wouldn't have made it to the finals. My problem is, I'm not exactly sure what that thing is. I know where the problems are, but to fix them I need to know where the strengths are, too.
Also, I've foolishly started another sadfic short.
I know! I know! I'm a terrible person. I can't control myself. When I get these really cool ideas, I just cannot stop myself from writing them out. I really just need some sort of system to force myself to write. I've shown myself through the write-offs that I can write half-way decent (nothing I write is actually good) stuff if I just force it out. But how?
It's something I'll have to deal with eventually. I can't just write at this pace forever; I won't learn anything.
For those of you who are a bit curious, and want something to nibble on in the meantime, I occasionally post shorts (400-1000 words) on a tumblr at crumbsofipp.tumblr.com. There's something of a story-arc going on there.
Foolish? Madness! Sadfics are best fics!
