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 think it's maybe like when you get a bit of grit in the bed. You don't notice how smooth the sheets are - just how hard and uncomfortable the grit is.

It could be a fairy story: the Fangirl and the Grit? Even through 5 chapters she could still feel that hard and lumpy paragraph...
