Cringe Worthy
AJsKellyMouse:
I'm already re-writing all of my stuff. I love that pic though! It's awesome!!

I am no where near as good of a writer as the majority of the girls on here, so I find most of my work cringe worthy. I realize it the most though, right after I have read some really great work, like honey's stuff and shakabelle's stuff.
I do it because I enjoy it. I do see myself getting better, so I guess that is a good thing. I also am trying to broaden my horizons a little and write outside the box.
I am also thinking about re-writing my very first fan-fic. It is sooooo cliche and totally Mary-Sue, but hey I was 16. I don't want to change the story line of anything, just the quality of writing in it.
honey:
aww. That is so sweet of you to say, Brandy, thank you! Though I hate that I leave you with that feeling. I know what you mean though, I do the same thing myself with others.

as long as you keep with this mentality, though, you'll be surprised at how far you can go! Seriously, we all started somewhere and believe me. My crap is awful awful awful crap.
Sakabelle:
Aww thank you Brandy! :-* Remember, you are your own worst critic! It's good to try to write outside your box, that's what I'm currently doing and it's really difficult.
Rewriting your first fic can be a lot of fun! I really enjoyed doing the cringe worthy challenge and rewriting I Want It That Way, almost enough to make me want to redo the whole thing. Almost.

yeah, but I think that's how you grow a lot as a writer. (writing outside of the box) I mean the difference in writing quality between WTMH and NYACS is crazy to me. And I think it was because I'd never tried to write anything like that before so I forced myself to try harder... And LOL Fan Friction is kicking my butt, and giving me a whole new insight to the writing thing...
