Level of discouragement is off the charts

Well, I was excited about penning the last words of the rough draft for Bright City Bites until I logged on LJ, read my friends list and learned that the summary had lost a writing contest.

Whaaaaaaaaaatever. Trying not to go down the usual path of beating myself up. Everything's still in the rough draft phase. I can't expect genius level writing on the first try, right? Right?

Ugh.

*hugs* Thanks. I'm gonna let it sit for a month or two (or more) before I try to revise it. I don't even really know where to start, honestly, lol. But I'm going to focus on writing a couple of other stories. maybe something fandom.

That's probably a good idea because when you go back to it after a few months, you'll be like "Why did I write this? What was a thinking? I should correct this immediately". I don't write, but when I draw something, halfway through it I stop and return to it like a month later to correct it, it really works wonders :) Good luck. x

Yeah, exactly. :) I'm jealous. I wish I could draw, lol
