Writing

[louiselux]

I reread one of my latest springkink fics yesterday and discovered it wasn't as good as I thought it was. How extremely annoying of it. However, perhaps if I leave it and read it again tomorrow it will have got better again.

My brain does seem to work like this with my own stories. One day I can hardly bear to read anything of mine, and another day I can like it all again. Does this happen to anyone else? But just recently I see more and more flaws in my writing and where it could be better. Which possibly might mean I am on a learning curve, I suppose.

I hate my stuff when I reread! And then I think it's ok-ish, and then . . . I hate it again! It just looks so stupid, when it looked kind of shiny in my head (and if I write filth, I find it doesn't get less filthy to me over time. I quite shocked myself the other day when I re-read one fic!).

Send me your springkink fics and I'll tell you they're all right! I'll send you my reluctant buggery (omg, am now thinking that looks like it should be an Agatha Christie, The Case of the Reluctant Buggery).
