Writing crap

[icarus]

Ever spend a tremendous amount of time on something, only to look at the results of your efforts and realise -

- wow. This is total crap.

Yeah. I'm having one of those days.

Thank you. *sighs* I'll have to write some rimming scenes just make myself feel better.

Ah, such lengths we much go to.

Hugs from me too. Maybe a nice glass of wine, as well?

If all of this produces some rimming scenes, maybe it will be worth it.

Hope you feel better after a good sleep.

- wow. This is total crap.

Sigh, all too often. Good luck, sweetie, I know you'll work it out!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's not the writing. It's that the whole concept was thin and not worth 26 pages.

Sigh.

Many, many a time. :( Usually not even reparable crap. **HUGS**

Yep. isolde9 and I spent a lot of time on this, and it ain't worth the paper it's printed on.

An autopsy has revealed that this should have been a vignette, not an epic. It's been an utter waste of time, and it's not reparable. In a desperate attempt to make more of this story than it was, it takes the storylines in directions I don't want to go. No. Ron is not going to tamper with Lucius/Percy.

*Flusssssssssh.*

The worst of it that I did this instead of writing more Lucius/Percy smut with sparrohawk, where there is something happening and there it a story. And I don't have time now to write the smut. Fuck, what a waste.

I need a break from hp_dungeons.

We all have those days. Oddly enough - nobody else seems to thinks o but us.

*thunks his head on keyboard*

My own fics are piss poor toward my standards, but quality crowd pleasers.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Hopefully someone will like the results of an unpleasant amount of wrangling. But I must write more fics. They seem to last longer.

(sorry, been up to 3am a couple nights in a row.)

Oh, by the way, I love your icon. Heh.

[anuanu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we must wrangle. :)

Thanks. Ringspells made it, and let me have it. She's a dear.

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

Yup. Many a day I've spent doing that and I usually end up throwing a great big tantrum before going to my art pad and randomly doodling for my own pleasure.

Don't worry. It passes quickly. Just take a breather and do a project YOU want to do. Something that pleases you and doesn't have to be perfect.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

That's good advice.

Thank you.

Icarus

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

Aw, you're welcome. Hope it helps. ^_^

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it did.

[ze-dragon.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. Recently, in fact.

{{icarusancalion}} It'll get better.

Wanted to tell you that I'll miss your Percy over at the dungeons too. Good Luck with everything that you need to finish off. Hope to see you back soon.

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I finished the story anyway (we're up to 28 hours on the thing) and the writing's good. I found a way to make it work at the end.

Oh, ouch, I can sympathize. *hugs* But I know that what you put out will be wonderful, so I'm not too worried...!
