do it again
Mar. 11th, 2010 09:18 pmWhile I wait for the new Gaga/Beyonce video to load (vevo!!!) and fervently wish to find some fic set in the universe they've created, I thought I'd pose a question:
Have any of you guys went back to a story that you, at one time, thought only needed some filling out and a little bit of editing and went back to realize it needed to be completely rewritten?
This may be part of a function of taking forever to actually finish something. I'm always starting up things and then not returning to them for sometimes months (and one extreme example a year); earlier this week I returned to an idea that I thought I had mostly finished except for some missing scenes and some editing but then I read it again and went BUH and I couldn't drown out the voice in my head crying for a rewrite.
