Too many rules

I've come to the conclusion that if I try and follow every goddamn rule of what I am

supposed to do or not supposed to do as I writer, I'll never get anything written. So

fuck all that. Besides, I do not think, that if someone is reading an interesting

story, that they are going to stop reading if you use too many adjectives on a page.

If that's all it takes to make someone put down your story, well...

Renewed Vigor

After getting down on myself yesterday, I found myself awash with new ideas, and new thoughts with re arranging my manuscript, and adding to it. Starting it differently.
Being more descriptive. Taking my time. Fixing it instead of scrapping it. Sometimes I'm so obsessive, that I don't give my mind time to relax and work. Kind of like not being able to see the forest for the trees.

A happy post. What a change.

I should have planned this better

The primary story I have been working on just took a shit on me. I have realized that the manuscript is just absolutely littered with problems. Tons of incorrect tense, he looked, as opposed to he looks, and such. Too many characters. Not to mention aesthetics, such as too many similar sounding names. I'm so frustrated with it.
I just might scrap it. I know that I have a solid story concept. I know that I have a solid story twist. And I know that I have a great ending. I just can't seem to figure out the best way to fill in what I don't know. I haven't posted this particular story on here. It is my primary project. Or maybe was. I don't know anymore. Feel free to comment. Thanks.

I'm so fucking depressed

For no good reason.

Don't you hate it when...

You write a section of your manuscript a certain way, and something that you paid little attention to ends up being so important, that you have to go back over your story and rewrite chunks of it, in order to move forward? Maybe I'm just a weirdo.
