Rough Copy: #2 - I'm Being a Poophead · 5:22pm Aug 12th, 2013
Ugh.
Stupid poop-brain. Work, damn you! Yet again I'm faced with my inability to write fanfiction. Great. I'm da best rigtterr.
I can't seem to figure out how to sit down and do my job. I hate procrastinating this much because I love to write, I just want to do it right (got the homonyms write this time! ... DAMN). It's b/c I'm a perfectionist, isn't it? My dumb perfectionist brain can't process the idea of a 'first draft' or a 'rough copy'- I've gotta go straight to Ray Bradbury quality. Let me tell you, brain, it never works like that. It's a dad gum process.
Le sigh. I've gotta go kick my tocks in gear on this one. And hey, I know nobody reads this, but ... thanks for listening.
Happy reading,
Nutters

First, whoa. Can I say thanks? It makes me absurdly excited to find a comment in my lil' inbox- and a thoughtful one at that!
Second, wow. I've never heard that before, either. I personally like to write my first draft and then dress her up with all sorts of editing. Maybe that's in part because I'm so frustratingly slow on the word-count front (which I know I shouldn't say because you had a really good point about different stokes, but is never the less how it feels sometimes).
Third, ... even though I do it for my own enjoyment, a compliment like that makes all the worst of it worth the while.
Finally fourth, hell yeah! Bradbury is my boy! Dandelion Wine is my all-time favourite
