Sometimes, I think I'm awesome.
But most of the time, I don't. You know those writer doubts all authors have? Yeah. 9 times out of 10, I think every word I write is crap. With revisions, a part of me feels like I need to change every single sentence to make them better. Another part of me knows that's stupid. No one would have wanted to buy the book if it needed THAT much work.
Fortunately, today is a good day, and I'm impressed with myself. I've totally nailed this fight scene. Sure, I've had to tweak a few things, but it's really gorgeous. Er, well, not gorgeous - people are dying - but there's a lot of imagery in it. It flows exactly the way I think it should flow. The pacing is excellent and there's tension - LOTS of tension - and the end of the scene is pretty much brilliant. Of course, I'm totally biased. :-)
I'm tagging this post "day of awesome." I have so many bad writing days that I think it'll be good for me to be able to click on the tag and read about days where my writing does not suck. Kind of therapeutic, you know? Wish I'd thought of it sooner, but here's too hoping I'll be tagging many more days of awesome.
