Why does this happen to me?

So I started a journal this year - hahaha! I'm surprised it's actually been written in at all, but mostly crap. No, the writing I'm talking about is the real stuff. All the "potential" novels I started working on last year have gathered static dust in some forgotten folder in my laptop. Does that sound right?

Well, I managed to recover one of my scripts: Crimson Tears. It was the only one I'd finished. When I sat down to edit it - yeah, thought about publishing it! - of course, I realised that I didn't like it that much anymore. My advice: when you read something that you wrote a long time ago and it looks crappy now, don't delete it. It's probably what's going to turn out into a fabulous novel someday!

Back to what I was saying. Um... er.... Oh yeah! About writer's block (all right, I wasn't exactly talking about that, but I was getting there). If you're looking for advice you're looking at the wrong blog. I was actually hoping to get some from someone.... ]]> http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/blogs/anuran-s-angel/108-not-writers-block-writers-complete-crash-and-meltdown.html
