Wear it proudly!

This is why I'm no longer into writing myself, because 1. I sucked, and 2. it sucks you in... and keeps you like a parasite.

[General Battuta]

Thank you, kind sirs.

I will hopefully try to sell the manuscript, since I've made enough of a positive impact in previous forays into publishing to know that my work is at or nearly at pro grade.

ugh

Crisis of confidence, stuck in a single scene for a few days.

In my case, I would switch subjects, as I'm running two separate stories at the moment. (Alternately, radical genre shift for a chapter.)

In your case, however, I can only recommend generic panicking and running around in small circles while waving your arms, because I haven't got a clue what you've got going.

[General Battuta]

It's just too ****ing long. 80k and I'm like one paragraph into the outline. Nothing over 100k will ever sell as a first novel.

We should totally switch. I write too stripped-down if anything.

We should totally switch. I write too stripped-down if anything.

I envy that. It's a much more valuable skill than you'd think (or actually you might well know how valuable it is, but it's still super valuable.)

I'm not an overwriter, per se, but I'm too infatuated with my own prose and not spare enough in deploying it.
