Trying again:<br /><br />Abby, I'm always freaking out that I won't have enough story, until I'm about three quarters through the thing. Then that changes to, "How am I going to wrap this up in only 10,000 more words?<br /><br />And yes, I always think my writing sucks at about the halfway point (and once I send it into my editor I start doubting myself like crazy).<br /><br />Hugs, Abby. Your story is going to be awesome!Tina Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842456040220092910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-85147108415315090412012-09-26T21:50:09.793-04:002012-09-26T21:50:09.793-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tina Becketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842456040220092910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-24451129158112411942012-09-26T13:10:48.648-04:002012-09-26T13:10:48.648-04:00You nailed it, Abby!

That comes after the fretting that the story won't be long enough.<br />And then a year later, I read through the now-published version and say, "Wow! Did I write those words? Man! They're great!"Pamela Hearonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12810359077576669616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738657.post-50055834950265520932012-09-26T12:13:11.445-04:002012-09-26T12:13:11.445-04:00Been there, done that!!
Great post, Abby! I agree...Been there, done that!!<br /><br />Great post, Abby! I agree with every point! It's trying to get from the "I suck" to the "Hey, this isn't to bad" that's the hardest for me! At those times I just have to repeat..."I've done this before, I can do it again!" over and over and over...<br /><br />Well, you get it!!

It's amazing I ever accomplish anything, but the end really does make it worth it all the agony and self-loathing. Great post, Abby! I suspect many writers can relate.Angela Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867561735139834900noreply@blogger.com
