Mar. 12th, 2009 01:40 pmA typical exchange when I've finished a story tends to be along the lines of:
Me: OMG! Done! Okay, the ending is kinda weak, but maybe my awesome beta person won't notice. Who knows, it could be stronger than I think *sends, but always with added comment about potential weaknesses because I suck at effective cover ups*
Awesome beta person: Erm, your end isn't as good as it could be, I suggest this.1
Me: I knew it /o\
At which point I rework and add however many more words it needs, which in the case I'm talking about are quite a few. You'd think I could cut this whole performance out, but it seems not. Ending a story is such a weak point for me.
I really need to get a start on the big bang story too.
It's cold here today, I've had to shove the snake against the door to stop the drafts and earlier I just caught Tex escaping when the gate was blown open. For an old dog he can sure move fast. So, some hot orange is in my future, maybe a game of Fall Out Boy trail. I was thinking if I let one of them die early on it means more food and less usage of vitamin water. Oh man, I'm thinking tactics for FOBtrail. I need an intervention, or to get past California at least.
1 Unless you're one of my long term betas who tend to just go. Write more! &them;
