I want more time! Not enough time in the day. How can I vent these frustrations in my mind into a tale that captures my tidal wave of feelings and thoughts? I've been putting my writing ahead of my school work again. I guess that's not good, but I don't really care about anything but my writing at this point. I want to get better, now. I want to be able to share with the world all that swims around my head. I want . . . so much more than I could ever hope to grasp. *sigh*
 
Sigh.

I know that over time stories just tend to fall down the list. I shouldn't be surprised and disappointed when it happens to me.

***random thoughts that I just needed to type out loud***

I just submitted a new story (finally) to an editor, and I noticed something really odd when I gave it a quick read before sending it.

I'm embarrassed.

I sat there in front of my computer, reading it and blushing a bright red at the thought of someone else reading this stuff and knowing it's mine. Even though this is a porn site, I'm embarrassed and want to hide my face in my hands. Maybe it's because this story is nastier and dirtier than anything else I've written, and because it feels a lot more personal and I got more emotionally involved while writing it, but it took me a few minutes to finally convince myself to hit the send button.

I'm so weird.
 
Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Until your good is better,
And your better, best.

Commiserations. It's hard, whether it's rational or not. If it's any consolation, it ranks as high as ever in my esteem.

But very sweet. :)

It is different using an editor. You know that a specific person will be looking at it, and you will be in contact with that person. It feels different.

I don't know if it's standard, but I remember reading about at least one big-league actress whose contract included a clause that limited the number of people permitted to be on the set when she was doing a topless scene. It's one thing to know that a million people will see you semi-naked; it's another thing to look ten of them in the face when you are.

Don't worry, though. The editors I've met here have been an especially nice bunch of people, and I am sure that they will be helpful and supportive.

My tooshie is sore.

ETA: No, it's not a complaint. i just saw Shang, and got thinking horsey thoughts, and the tools used while riding, and was reminded of last night, and that pleasantly sore feeling surfaced again.

You make a very valid point, and thanks a lot for taking the time to make it. I never thought about it this way, but I suppose it makes sense in my case. I've noticed that my best pieces of writing have always been those where I pour my soul out and just write about what's inside me (in a way), but that leaves me feeling vulnerable for exactly that reason - it's like standing naked in a roomfull of people.

I do have a lot of faith in the editors here, and I'm looking forward to the experience.

*nuzzle* I know that feeling. I posted five chapters of fluff I didn't give a fig about and never blinked. Then I wrote one I put my heart into; I'd never felt anxiety like that before.

All was well. And all will be well. :rose:
 
Ever have someone kick you in the face while you were down? Metaphorically, of course.
edited to say:
Evidently being with me is exhausting. Perhaps that's a good reason for me to keep my own company then. I'm already exhausted, so exhausting myself shouldn't be that big a deal.
