I completely agree, Winterfox. A 'true' writer's attitude, IMO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Even more fun -- have you ever agonized over a single word in a single sentence for minutes, rather than just go ahead and finish the bloody passage
already? I've had several occasions where a metaphor is desperately strained, or a sentence is hopelessly awful, and it takes several tinkerings to get out something that wouldn't set people's teeth on edge or stick out like a sore thumb.
Only all the time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
The whole line just reads wrong for some odd reason and you
know there is a better word
somewhere and it's right on the tip of your tongue...
And there is no blasted way you could
possibly leave it and get back to it, because it will devour all your concentration until it's dealt with...
