don't accept due dates, write at your own pace. Rush your work and ruin your work



Or I could just be making excuses for being so slow and never finishing fics 8)
Have you had your recommended daily allowance of ravishing? 8)

I believe in love stories but despise romances.

I want to write fics that slap all the standard fanfiction conventions around the face with
a wet fish and call them Betsy ~ me to Wicked.

Cupid's arrow is really a nuclear warhead...it leaves total devastion in it wake.

*snickers* That sounds more like me. Don't worry, you're definitely not the only one with unfinished fics.. *glances at her own pile* >.>;;

Hopefully, melrose, the Muses'll take pity on me and grant me a spurt of creativity tonight and tomorrow because Monday is my deadline. T-T..

Hmmm...looks good. Try using more, what's the term, active form of the verb. And limit 'dialogues' to necessary ones, I guess.

Thanks. I wasn't totally happy with it.. but.. I finished it about 12 hours before I was supposed to hand it in. So I rushed it to my beta who read through it to make sure stuff was in order.

I may look it over again later and really revise it though. I just really hate writing in first person for anything longer than a drabble.
