The Four Stages of Writing

[dragonheart]

so, which stage are you in?

The blue ones. Ha. Occasionally (once every few years) I get the not so bad after all.. But then it goes away again.

I've had a couple of "I'm brilliant" moments... lately though, I feel like "wow, I suck."

[whiteink]

The second one. I don't think I've ever had the 4th one ... :)

It depends. For longer fics, I'm permanently stuck in stage 4. (Thanks, ROH). For drabbles and one-shots, probably stage 2.

I don't think I've ever had a stage 3 moment. :P

I'm pretty much at level one or level two. I don't think I ever got to level three. I've never been to level four since I've never had anything published. Yet...

a this point - I would just be happy to write something - even if it sucks!

my dragon muse has taken an extended vacation it seems.

I periodically go thru these dry spells - then inspiration and motivation will strike - I will write like a mad woman for a while and then I dry up again.

*sighs*

Yeah, I'm at the same place right now. I'm trying to work on my diary entries, but I'm getting exactly no-where.

I love your icon. Is that your missing muse?

[dragonheart]

yeap, that's him. I am trying to guilt him into showing up.

:)

Oh yeah, that's perfect! I'm somewhere between 1 & 2 at the moment. /o\

[dragonheart]

that's where I am too - I kind of doubt I will ever get to the 3rd and no way to the 4th - but hey, I am happy to be writing - period.
