I think I'm going to stick with it for a while -- you can tell I'm stubborn, yes? <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile I'm adding new characters to try to push more action into the story. Will see how it goes.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-71947473733695879392007-11-10T07:37:00.000+08:002007-11-10T07:37:00.000+08:00If you really have to change it, it's still not to...If you really have to change it, it's still not too late. You'll have to make an effort to catch up, but I bet you can do it.<BR/><BR/>I need to do a lot of daydreaming before writing too. That part actually takes a lot longer than the writing itself.<BR/><BR/>Also, remember that this is just a first draft. Even if the dialogue doesn't quite feel right, you can always change it later.<BR/><BR/>I hope things start going better soon!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-32199853741530076772007-11-08T12:29:00.000+08:002007-11-08T12:29:00.000+08:00Jean Pierre Thanks, well, I did learn I'm not a ve...<B>Jean Pierre</B> Thanks, well, I did learn I'm not a very disciplined writ. ;p<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about the posting bit. Actually, the sticky post is pretty easy -- you just date the post to a later date. So, if today is the 7th -- I want it to stay around for 1 week, I date it 7 days from today -- 14th.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-75642745438692723052007-11-07T23:46:00.000+08:002007-11-07T23:46:00.000+08:00arg! that sounds incredibly frustrating!but, at le...arg! that sounds incredibly frustrating!<BR/><BR/>but, at least you've gotten to know that you're not that kind of writer - and as frustrating as the experience has been, you've learned something valuable about your writing style from this!<BR/><BR/>sorry i haven't commented in a while. like a fool, i've been checking your first post, and kept seeing the same one... and so i thought you weren't posting (even though you'd said you'd make it a sticky (but i didn't know how you'd do that)).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-39552413164298844122007-11-07T21:36:00.000+08:002007-11-07T21:36:00.000+08:00Thanks for the encouragement, buddy.

And now it's just starting to kind of catch up with me. I thought it was a good plan to go in with no outline and no pre-planning, but now everything is so tangled and the plot is so messy. I'm just hoping it unravels itself.<BR/><BR/>It sounds like you have such a great story! I know I want to hear it :) I say just start typing and see where your characters take you. That's what I've been doing, but I know that doesn't work for everyone...and it's getting me in trouble now, so maybe don't do that :p <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, I'm probably making things worse for you than before! lol...I hope things become clear for you soon, D-O.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.com
