Haha, I once wrote a 50k word absolute TURD that's just sitting there growing CPU mold, or whatever happens when you no longer open a file EVER.

...Why am I doing this to myself??? Something about karma? Masochism? To survive the coming nuclear winter, you need to have your Roach on the ready? You're putting something else off? After ntsheep calling you Queen all the time, you REALLY NEED a world to rule? There's something in that taco you ate that one time..? or... You want to because you admire good writing and it's a skill you want to possess, so practice practice practice... But I'm just a dumb bunny, so whaddo I know..? |

So much potential but I just bungled it. I feel like dropping the story and starting all over, but that doesn't mean I'll finish and I know the REAL work is in finishing and editing a piece of work... I'm knee-deep in the hate cycle of the relationship right now.  |

Or it could just be the tiresome rote of editing and proofreading for continuity, |

If you want to start over from scratch that's fine. It's part of the whole process.

I'm probably going to just edit everything once I'm done. I'm just being a little dramatic as I've been working on it nonstop for a few months now. I ran out of steam and am taking another break to handle some other things on my list. I'm just feeling a little frustrated and guilty for not finishing for you guys yet.

Creating is supposed to be fun, if it isn't, taking a break is for the best. I didn't mean to put pressure on ya, just been gone from Trese-verse for too long  |

You guys encourage me when I'm too hard on myself. I think I just burnt myself hard on this story and need a little distance to start working on it again. It's just funny saying that, because I posted like 3 chapters here and have not one but one and a half notebooks filled with notes, edits and chapters for this story. It was kinda becoming the second job I enjoyed a little too much... Get out of my house people, I'm trying to write! XD |

Consider too, that we are constantly changing. You're not the same person as when you started. So, the way you feel about your creations will change if they don't change with you. |

Came back with yet another story ending for this story and I think it's probably one of my better ideas for this story. I'm working on it now, just wanted to thank you guys for putting up with me and being patient. <3

I hate to keep tooting my own horn here, but I've been whaling at this since late July and I finally reached the end. It's terrible, disjointed and uglier than Satan's backside, but I finished a rough draft longer than a few pages for the first time in my LIFE. It's been quite a journey and I wouldn't have made it without your support, everyone. Thank you. <3 There's still a LOT of work to do, but I never thought I would even get this far more than a few times. I learned a lot about writing and myself doing this, and its all thanks to you guys. Thank you again, everyone.
