seriously. i've been working on this book for a couple months and i'm at 85 pages, or about 25,000 words. now that i'm this far, i'm like... this sucks. i suck at writing. who would want to read this? i feel like my plot isn't epic enough, or like it's convoluted or something. i guess i just don't know when to reveal what information. i want it to be a logical, linear development of the backstory but i fear i'm giving too much information too explicitly or... or something!
i just need to get back to reading some books. after i had read the road i was really able to refine my writing of my old post-apocalyptic book to be darker and grittier. i want to have that feeling again, where i can go back and reword things and be like "yeah, that's how it should be said, not this way."
YA KNOW?!

Do the NaNoWriMo thing! Just get it onto paper without editing, rest a month, then read through it. Then, you may find what it needs or doesn't need. I did that in Novemeberr, but I haven't been back to it. :(
I tried posting it chapter by chapter here in January, but no one read it.
