You told me that, and I quote, "It's a first draft. I'm sure it's fine. ;)."<BR/><BR/>I have the same problem as you. I want the story to come out right the first time. When it doesn't, I get mad. I see it so clearly in my head, like you, and yet it bucks the system and refuses to come out the way I wish.<BR/><BR/>My advice to you the other night was to let the story marinate a little longer. Jot down the major things you want to happen, that way you don't forget, but let it all sit in there and it will work itself out.<BR/><BR/>I have faith that you can tell any story that you choose to. Can't is not part of your vocabulary when it comes to writing. I honestly believe that when the time is right, that story will spill forth from your mind an make its weigh onto paper (or computer screen).<BR/><BR/>Have faith!!Nicole Irelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164201909384064031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-17213342123180632032009-03-23T09:06:00.000-04:002009-03-23T09:06:00.000-04:00I'd like to see the photos of your room once it's ...I'd like to see the photos of your room once it's done :D<BR/><BR/>Um...I have forgotten more stories than there are stars. At least it feels that way. I think it through too much and I'll never get around to writing it. If I do, I usually won't finish. Also, it does frustrated me that I can't transfer my stories which are cinematic in my head in a way that gets it across accurately. I soooo could make movies so long as I had little prop actors who looked real ;)S.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10637012429541938128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-51990166610821901032009-03-23T08:52:00.000-04:002009-03-23T08:52:00.000-04:00Amazing how the brain and fingers don't always coo...Amazing how the brain and fingers don't always cooperate with each other.<BR/><BR/>That's some outfit in the picture you've got up.<BR/><BR/>Morgan Mandel<BR/>http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3011327337879619480.post-14641443356795823692009-03-22T23:05:00.000-04:002009-03-22T23:05:00.000-04:00I forget sometimes that there is so much more to t...I forget sometimes that there is so much more to the writing it down process.

It happens with blog posts as well as novels! :)Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.com
