Writing: Sometimes You Want to Burn it with Fire
By and large I don’t like to ramble on about writing, because if I’m talking about writing then I’m not actually writing (what I should be) and I’d much rather write than babble.
I also don’t like to sound like an ego-tripping jerk. I am not a great writer. I like to think I’m good, but I’m very far away from great. I’ve also only been writing for ten years so I have lot to learn and a long way to go.
That being said, I like to pretend I have learned one or two things in that time, and that maybe I can make myself useful in some way upon occasion.
Now that I have babbled for three paragraphs, this is not meant as advice so much as … I think people believe that writing gets easier, that those of us who have been writing awhile don’t have the same frustrations and upsets as newer writers. At least, I get asked a lot how I deal with this or that, have I encountered that or this, and the answer is that I fuck up all the time. We all do. That never really stops or changes.
To prove it, all the troubles and aggravations I’ve had with a story I’ve been working on so that peeps can see that even though I should know better, I can still fuck that shit up awesomely.
^Meg, she says what I feel. Also, Meg, soon (like sometime this year really), I’m gonna have to write foursome smut too…. I’m not prepared.

That’s what I did when before I wrote threesome smut, lots of blushing and back typing was involved when I finally wrote...

Obviously to prepare you should read lots of poly smut :3 that’s what I always told myself. My first one took me FOREVER...

As wacky as it sounds, it’s nice to know that others struggle like that too. And reminds me that instead of bitching, I should probably concentrate more. ^.^
