Because I am a masochist, I decided to go look at some of my "early" bits of writing that I actually started attempting to write down around age 19, even if the ideas themselves had been in my head for years. In particular, inspired by
this post, I went looking for the other little bit of that particular story that I had succeeded in getting on paper, even if I didn't quite manage to finish writing the scene itself.
And... truth, it isn't *bad*, parsay, but OMG SO SAPPY! Seriously, seriously sappy. I still like the *idea* of that particular scene (it would've gotten all nice and smutty if I ever managed to finish writing it), just as I kind of like the few bits of plot I managed to come up with for it (even if I never actually got to writing down said plot developments and instead, for some teenybopper reason(s) I'd rather not recall), but... wow. Sappy.
However, in my defense, at least it isn't as bad as the bad poetry I wrote in junior high when I was going through my sappy love phase. No quite, at least.
