have you ever?

[tielan]

Have you ever struggled on a story through several thousand words, and then discovered what wasn't working about the story.

And then realised that it's the core underpinning of the story that you've just changed?

And then realised that you'll have to go back and rewrite the story to change the bit that needs reworking?

It really sucks.

*breathes*

Starts reworking the story.

why yes, I have! I've had it happen 3 times in the last 6 months. *g*

Good luck!

Thanks. *grimaces*

Sometimes I hate my muse.

Awwwww CRAP.

This is the reason for my Great Novel going amiss.

Thanks for that. Much needed!

Still rewriting - will be doing so for a while, I think...

[tielan]

It does. It really, really does...

Hey. Look on the bright side. You could have figured out what your subconscious was trying to tell you only after you finished it.

[tielan]

Good point! *shudders*

Although I don't think I'd have gotten much further with it - it was like pulling teeth. :(
