This is more for myself right now, but I thought I'd start a little progress journal.
I have a story written that I'm satisfied with! It came together remarkably well from the outline and I've managed to start the tiniest bit of editing. I want to find a proper editor and a gallery of pre-readers to break my heart a little and bitch-slap my ego-- as writing is supposed to do, I guess.
... I wish I could genially say I'm excited for that whole process, because truly, I know it's the only way I'm going to improve and be able to put out something I can be really proud of! But, I don't know. It's been so long since I've had anyone look at my work critically. I wish I wasn't such a little baby about it, but admittedly, I am. I think there's some measure of perfectionism or just plain ego that makes reading through great constructive criticism feel like grinning through a dentist drilling, and applying that criticism feel like telling myself to climb the Matterhorn.
I could be being a bit overdramatic, but like I said, it's been a while and I don't have great memories.
On the bright side, I get the chance to learn how to suck it up! So here's to hoping I can, because I really want this story to kick as much ass as it can when all's said and done.
