Magic City Writer's Meeting
I got the critique back for my first chapter of my sci fi story...and the results weren't good.
It was hard work getting it together enough to submit to the group, and I didn't really enjoy the process. Usually I enjoy writing, when it comes to me naturally, but I had to force it the entire time and I had no fun. The characters lacked imagination, depth, and that magnetism that makes the reader want to know more. Ugh, it was just bad all over.
My group's commentary gives me the closure I need to let the story go for right now. I'll put it in a drawer and let it go, it's not meant to be for right now and I'm slightly relieved and a little disappointed. Discouraged is the word. What if I'm not really made to be a writer? I don't know. It's just a bad day, I guess. Bad week. How is everyone else doing?
