I've been agonizing over my recent OFC piece, which I shouldn't have posted because I knew inside it was off. But it was late and I was weak.
Yesterday my beta wrote me three (yes, THREE) separate emails telling me how 'off' it was and castigating me (as I really needed) on how it should have been. She's 100% right. And inside somewhere I knew it, too.
I'm now eyeing the piece warily, knowing I have to wrestle it into its right incarnation - whatever that may be!
So, yeah, I hear you! ;)
But writing is also addictive. That's the silver lining.
You're completely right, it IS addictive. I guess like most addictive behaviours there's elements of pain involved along with the rush. This weekend I felt like a gambler losing money and thinking, any minute now, yep, any minute now my luck's gonna change
