Everything I write is shit!

[JamieB]

For some reason, I look at what I'm writing and I'm thinking, what a complete waste of time! Someone could wipe their ass with this tripe except they'd probably get a rash.

Every time I type a word, a baby starts crying. Every time I close a paragraph, a puppy dies. If my story ends up in the bottom of a hamster cage, the poor thing will die of dysentery. Somewhere, Hemingway is clawing his way out of his grave to come and pee on my computer.

Anyway, just had to vent.

Maybe you need to let someone else take a look at it. It can't be that bad, just judging from what you've written here.

 

[JamieB]

Thanks

I wouldn't want anyone to go blind or insane though.

I know mentally I'm just having a crisis of confidence. I just need to slug it out. Nobody ever said writing is easy.

Hemingway didn't pee, he was a God, he just fucked women and self-abused.

TK is right, we all write floss that will vaporize, only too quickly Just live for the moment - and enjoy.

If you write your stories as well as you described above you rock!!!!! Bring it on I would love to read it!!!!

I looked at your submissions page and didn't get leprosy. The dates and scores suggest you're writing higher grade shit lately.

That's what they told me, those lying sacks of shit...

 

[JamieB]

Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement folks! I appreciate it!

Huh. At least, not yet.

 

[WickedVoyce]

I really enjoy your work and writing with you has been a blast. Don't be so hard on yourself.

And be sure to let me know if you ever want to have a piece read for submission... I'm there!

 

[gauchecritic]

Oddly enough I had the same feeling the other day, looking over a couple of things I'm working on.

I started trying to edit it and it was still shit. Must be the weather.

 

[JamieB]

Thank, Wicked

Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed our collaboration too. You're very talented, and number one on my editor list!

There are other lists you're on, too, naturally.

Hey, count your blessings! If Hemingway clawed his way out of the grave to cum AND pee on your computer, you'd KNOW you were REALLY writing shit!

Or at least some good ol' fashioned necrophilia n' piss-fetish erotica!

 

[glynndah]

Everyone here is much wiser and much more experienced as writers than I am, so I'll just leave a word of encouragement and float away.

A welcome for the little newbie from the good little witch.

 

[starrkers]

Hardly a newbie, Glynn! Just less garrulous than the rest of us.

Must be the season for shit writing - mine's been excrescent lately too.

eta: crap, I must've swallowed a "big word" thesaurus in my sleep!

 

[jomar]

[bluebell]

Don't shake any hands, Jo. You might lose a finger.

Oops! I looked at the posting level, not the join date.

JamieB, you can keep the .

 

[cloudy]

I think everything I write is shit, too. Fortunately, not everyone thinks so.

 

[cantdog]

That feeling is a symptom of writer's block, for me.

 

[EveAnna]

Even if you think what you've written is shit - still keep it, stick it in a folder and just leave it there. Sometime in the future you might go back to it, edit and add to it and have a story or just part of a storyline ready to go.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

It happens! You write, you stink, you write! Just like we don't have to love ourselves, thank God (we have other people for that) we don't have to love our writing. Other people seem to love our writing or at least like it enough so we don't have to drown ourselves in urinals.

That's why society was invented. Because people's writing stinks and they can't stand it but they like other people's writing well enough. So they invented society and class oppression and the semicolon and the New Novel and legal pads and the Floating Outline method of Plot Organization.

God! If people didn't think their writing stunk Columbus wouldn't have discovered the Panama Canal and we'd still be hauling our tobacco down to Peru on dogsled!

[Jet Black]

You think YOU write badly? Oh my God I should send you this star wars fanfic I wrote a while back.. It would literally make your eyes bleed, and your brain would jump out of your head due to an abusive host.

Seriously. Horrible. Your stuff is actually pretty damned good, and seems to be getting even better ^^

And don't fret over a crap story here and there, we all do it on occasion, and its never as bad as we think

Thanks for the support, all

And thanks for the kiss, Glyn...can't have too many of those!
