hah!
OK, so today I dug up the 6000 words I'd written towards a story about 2 or 3 years ago. Original fic, guys, not fanfic, but it was about the Can't Sleep Con Will Eat Me guys. I'm rereading it, and am about 6 pages in and: hey, it's not as bad as I'd feared! Rough, yes. Overrun with heavy-handed metaphors, yes. In desperate need of editing, yes. But - so far - it's more readable than I remembered. I'm toying with the idea of signing up for NaNoWriMo again to see if I can get farther along on it, but every time I do that, someone comes along and wants to pay me money to do something in November and that ends up taking precedence. (Which, come to think of it, might not be a bad idea: I can always use someone paying me for something. :D)
Plus, the reason I stalled out on it, I realized after I spent a week staring at the thing, not being able to come up with more, is that I'd solved the problem that I'd set the main character up with. I think in order to go on, I need to set up more problems, and I'm not sure what they'd be or where to fit them in. Hrm. *ponders*
At any rate, anyone wanna read it? :D I think I'm going to create a filter for it and post it, in all its rough glory. And to that end, a poll!
