tippy tapping

Have pulled out the file for the book I was pecking away at and seeing if I can actually turn it into something. It will require finding a plot, and learning how to write characters that resemble human beings. Also, I think it is asking to be turned into something where the romance is a bigger strand, instead of something I was not even sure would happen.

Of course, I then went and read a Jenny Crusie, and am now feeling like I shouldn't bother.

don't you hate when that happens? I used to want to be a writer, but I stopped trying before I ever started (even though I was encouraged by a couple of college professors), because I would be kinda pleased with something I wrote, then I'd go read something by an author I loved, then go back read what I wrote & it was so bad...

But I think you should bother (for all that I don't). You have an easy, flowing blog style of writing and I've like the (few) fics of yours that I've read.

It's so true! I look at all the strengths of the writers I love, and look at my own writing, and just sigh and put it away.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to keep poking away, at least for now.
