I knew I had a winner on my hand, and there was the proof; I was just way too slow. I've come back to that story, rewriting it from the ground up, because after all these years, it's still a story I need to tell.hellotammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028379267204270359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288913993557444077.post-60660925407956465062013-04-10T12:26:43.940-07:002013-04-10T12:26:43.940-07:00Whenever I get a great idea I think "Oh no, n...Whenever I get a great idea I think "Oh no, now it's in the Writer Hive Mind!

I forgot about how often the same words appeared over and over again. But I guess it does prove the power of the story, to be that popular despite some of the writing. I haven't read the others, but I heard the writing improved, which makes a lot of sense. I shudder to think of my early pieces. Not the best writing at all.Idabel Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520325764365705743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288913993557444077.post-50775019299135885872012-02-24T15:38:03.771-08:002012-02-24T15:38:03.771-08:00lol

I say go with what you originally wrote.<br /><br />Let's face it, it's all been done before in one form or another. Every plot type has been done--it's how YOU do it that makes it original.<br /><br />As for Twilight--I loved the movies--I loved the storytelling--but if I had to read the words cold and hard one more time, I was gonna scream. Where was the editor? Meyer is a great storyteller--but the red pen was a tad lacking.<br /><br />To me, one can be a great storyteller and not an excellent writer, know what I mean?Hope Welshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007282596035816113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288913993557444077.post-83914331718339295902012-02-22T17:44:36.590-08:002012-02-22T17:44:36.590-08:00I'm not the only one?
