Jul. 1st, 2006 11:01 pmOuf, I hate it when that happens.
There I had this scene all written and good, when I stumbled across an extract of the book in an essay I was reading and noticed a minor detail that had gone over my head.
Which makes the scene as I have written it out of canon.
Well, technically, it doesn't change much, and I think that my scene would be a more-or-less valid rendition of what had happened, but that's not good enough for me. Like The Journey Of The Phoenix, Through Times Of War (its sequel) must stick 100% to canon.
Gnyah. There goes a perfect scene. And the Muse won't cooperate and let me fix it. My attempts to edit it are being rather crappy, so far.
*grits teeth*
I *hate* it when that happens.
See ya,
Anna.

Date: 2006-07-01 10:56 pm (UTC)I'm mad because I wrote a perfectly fine beginning (or at least it seemed fine at the time at which I was writing it) last night, and I just went back and picked it apart. There were so many things wrong with it that I don't even know where to begin... so I'll have to start over. *moans* Though this is really my fault. It's just that I was *finally* writing like I haven't for quite awhile, and now I look over it and it sucks. Majorly.
*hugs Anna* Though your problem is worse than mine. *offers meringues*
♥ Have the jumping kitty icon. It's cute :D

Cute kitty! ♥ You have a talent for finding cute kitties!
See ya,
