Too often I begin something and then become frustrated because the first efforts I produce are less than perfect; or I will spend days/weeks working on a scene and then completely lose the momentum as far as the rest of the work is concerned. At which point I decide that the work is a complete failure and I must think of something new to begin. I know that this is a state of mind I need to banish and change. Ergo, early New Year's Resolution 'I must grit my teeth and bash on to an ending/resolution, no matter how imperfect the writing, before going back to edit and redraft.' Patience and persistence are virtues I must learn to cultivate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
