I hate it when you're writing and suddenly realise that something you've done just doesn't work at all. You want it to, have had plans for it to work but it isn't going to and you need to delete the whole beginning and start again. Deleting 3 pages just isn't sitting well with me but it has to be done, because it just doesn't work right. I've been going through all my mails that people have sent, (I'm so grateful that people do point out the bad stuff) and reading through the story I can the beginning isn't working at all. It's not a disaster by any means, but I write so short that 3 pages out of 15 is enough to make me go eep! Stupid Joey and his issues.

But I'm going to get a cup of coffee and some left over Brewster birthday cake and fix the thing. That is if I don't get interrupted again. The plumbers are at mam's so they have to keep coming down here to use the toilet.

I'm actually happy taking time off to write because some of the things I'm reading on the flist are insane. But I will say, how gorgeous did JC look?

This isn't getting any writing done, have to be brave now and delete.

Ack! The same freaking thing just happened to me the other day. I was writing and writing and writing and really thought I was liking it, and then I reread it the next day and scratched my head and said "This doesn't even make freaking sense !"

Sigh. It's tough babe, but it's for the best. I'll delete mine if you delete yours *g*

Couldn't you just cut it out but save it for another time? lol It's painful cutting things, I barely write three pages a fic usually, so cutting things is really painful lol
Insanity on your flist? This worries me lol do I wanna know? lol
I'm glad Corey had a lovely birthday :o)

I would save it but the beginning is a story that was already done that I was trying to mesh into a bigger story. Hey, it made sense at the time *g* I thought it would work but the styles are totally different, I even sat modifying the three pages, trying to match them but they just read wrong. I didn't want to admit that, I mean, three pages are a lot to me, but I have to be realistic...sigh.

The insanity is the whole Grammy Justin JC thing. I only saw a little of it as my flist is mostly Chris people in terms of nsync, but man, some people need to chill. I'm not touching the friendsfriends today.

He did have a lovely birthday, it was fun which is all that matters.

*smooches you back*

Ouch, that sounds familiar. It's horrible when you think you've done something great -- and I find it's always after a writing spurt where you just can't stop writing -- look back at it later and think, what the hell was I on?

I just console myself with the fact it means I must be improving as a writer as before I might have posted it anyway.

Hey, mine's gone. What about yours? *g*

*G*

Well, now I'm happy :D

*shyly raises hand*

somebody say JC? At the Grammys?

Actually, I recorded the Grammys (I think, it's possible my reception cut out, so I may be about to be extremely upset...) with the intent of reading all the blogs today to see if there was anything worth going back and watching.

So, JC was there? On camera? 'Cause that automatically equals "worth going back and watching..."

..And now I'm paranoid my tape will be nothing but video snow and static, once I want to watch it...

Yeah he was there, sitting next to mama Timberlake no less when Justin was performing, and he looked fantastic!

See below. Do you want the rest sent to you?

GUH! If Chris didn't have my heart I'd have such a crush on that boy! Well, after Lance too ;)

I won't see them until Thurs so I don't know exact details but he was there and was on camera a few times.

If you go to the flist to look for grammy stuff watch out for the Justin-JC wars...sigh.

lol aaw, well, it's a growth process, if you can bear to cut three pages of fic, it's because you've realised it won't work and yeah, things along those lines lol brain freeze lol

yeah, I was kinda of getting the 'Jusitn is evil' vibe lol my flist is quite friendly, and snarky in a nice way and sensible, but yes, I rarely check the friendsfriends, and no way no how am I going there now lol

Is this the challenge Joey story? Need any help? I never got any kind of e-mail after mentioned mails before, so I'm not sure if I'm still on the team or if I've been sacked for being too unhelpful :-)

You certainly are on the team. If anyone should be sacked it's me for not sorting out my stupid insane e-mail faster :(

In fact your comments were among those that helped this afternoon when I realised my initial ideas just didn't work.

I have to go do Corey's bath now but I'll mail when I've done that. Maybe it'll reach you this time :(
