Joys of a Writer

Okay. My characters are outlined, and they’re fitting so perfectly. Now I gotta start writing

From the beginning I chose the plot to perfectly reflect the characters and their tendencies

But how about the ending scene?

Wait, why am I thinking about that now when the page in front of me had words unseen?

Let’s focus and try to finish this opening chapter at least, and then we can foresee the ending

First paragraph is done. Looks perfect, so onto the second I’m gone

Finished the second, but then realise the overall voice is not the same as the initial premise

I like the second edition so I have to go back and edit

I change the first paragraph to fit the second… but how did it end up like this?

Now the voice of the main character is lost in some sort of abyss

Of words that seem unrelated, so far from the concept I’d created!

I want the main character to be strong and independent

For that, on words I’m dependent

But ye hast betrayed me and crucified my vision!

They’re asking for revisions…

The ending scene comes to mind again

Oh, that would be so amazing, to have things end this way

But then the flashing cursor on the screen pulls me back to reality

Where not half a page is even done or close to finality

The story I had in my head was so epic, I really wanted to write it

But now my head is all muddled, I can’t be bothered writing

Sitting here for an hour on two paragraphs in constant regress

The story stuck in limbo forever… in progress
