Well here it is... My little story is growing ever soo big. And I am excited about this. But something has happened.. I have rewritten the whole beginning it pretty much is the same ting with a lot of fixes to tyops and what not.. So... I was like wondering if I should just edited them and that be it or what.. Any suggestions? And yes there were parts added and taken out. So should I just repost or what?

Editing is easy enough to do and something I do quite often. Even to my posts from quite a while back. But then I'm very detail oriented and can't abide my own mistakes. :wink:

Frankly, If you're comfortable with rewriting it to make it smoother and better, I'm all for it. After all, none of this is set in stone. But I [b:d0ba3313a8]do[/b:d0ba3313a8] appreciate people's efforts to improve their posts. I'm quite likely to re-read it all over again. :)

There are some here who don't care to go to the trouble of fixing faux pas, they prefer to let the story lie where it is. Sometimes, it's easily fixed further on up the storyline and makes for an interesting twist to the whole thing.

If it makes you feel better about your writing, then feel free to have it removed and you can start fresh again. OR, start the whole thing all over again with a new title and let people compare the two, then have the lesser copy removed later on when interest has died. However, I'm unsure what Batty might have to say about that much storage (Sorry Bats! I'm being a bit free with your website here. hehehe)

All in all, it comes down to what [b:d0ba3313a8]YOU[/b:d0ba3313a8] want to do. It's your creation. :)

:D


Thanx! Yeah I was having a friend of mine re read it for me cause I want to know umm how it is cause I think all my work sucks. Anyways, so he is going through it and had to ask me a couple of times what I ment and than I actually sat down and re read it and was like yeah I gotta fix this. But I think I would like to make another post and post the new on there and than get people's opinion on which one is better if that is okay.

But thanx again.

One of the things "I" do, before I will post a piece, is to ask someone (several someone's! anyone!!) to read a piece for me. When I write, I am TOO close to the whole thing to see the gaping holes clearly. I've even been know to walk away for 24 hours or more, then come back and see it with refreshed eyes. Of course, I try not to impose on my friends all the time! i.e. I try to spread the wealth, as I'd like to keep them willing to be my critics. hehehe

It really DOES help to have another person judge your work. Sometimes they are easier on you than you are on yourself. I know I am my own worst critic. hehehe

This is true but like I said I think everything I think I write I think it sucks and it took me some getting over some issues there to let someone read it. hehe. But yeah when ever I get a chance to type it up I will get it posted.

I think most of us think our work is not of the best quality but people keep telling us otherwise. Must be SOMETHING to what they say. If you figure it out, let me know! :wink:

When you've posted, I'll go and read it. I look forward to it. :D
