Re-read.

Lesson of the day: re-reading your writing is very helpful, or should I say insightful.

Right now, haha, write now. Sorry, but I am in that kind of mood. Right now I am working on re-working my story that I have been posting for Fiction Friday. Now that I am re-reading it, I have to say that I am not as proud of it as I was before. There are plenty of spots in the story that need more elaboration and some spots that need to be tossed out all together.

I can't believe I turned this in today, well the rough draft of it anyways. I am so thankful for the "It's only a rough draft" excuse though. In the next two weeks I have the opportunity to polish it up for the second draft. After that, I'll have another few weeks to make a third and final draft.

Writing is fun, I don't think I am going to make a living from it yet but maybe in the future. Who really knows?

I have been accused multiple times of writing from a semi-autobiographical point-of-view. I refuse to accept that I can't make up an original character. All of my characters are as original as they can be, I mean they are taken from everyday people who ARE originally themselves. Now, that I have re-read my story with this knowledge of the accusation, I will fess up to being a little semi-autobiographical. I guess I do use people from my life for characters and I do use the events that I witness or experience for inspiration in my stories that I write.

NEWS: I had an idea today for another story. I am going to write a spin-off of Alice in Wonderland. I can't give away the exact details because I wouldn't want anyone to take any of my ideas...I'm a hoarder in that way.

Ciao!
