I HATE FANFIC WRITING!!! Nothing I write comes out the way I want it too! I
can NEVER capture the mood or feeling I want the fic to have. It never
looks like anything I had originally intended! All my writing BLOWS! I HATE
IT! I HATE IT ALL!!!

I'm developing the same problems and feelings too! So you are not alone!
For
the past four months I have been working on a fic myself and I've
rewritten
major parts of it at least 11 times!!!I have also posted the same
question
on here on the ffml three times in one day, wrote four long paragraphs
then 
changed my mind and deleted them and just found out I screwed up my
sig.(The
past four months have NOT been good to me but considering what I,ve
heard from
some others on here I feel lucky it wasn't worse!!!!)

I am LOSING MY MIND! I'll spend two weeks constantly working on one
paragraph, only to end up tossing the entire thing! It's SICKENING! If I
had access to a shotgun, I would surly be on America's Most Wanted by now!

I have 19 files saved on my one story and I'm close to 2/3rds done.

How the hell do you people do it? How the hell do you guys write so GOD
DAMN magnificently?!? HOW HOW HOW?!? Tell me! It makes me so ANGRY that
what I have to work so damn hard on comes so easily to all of you! You guys
don't even have to try! You constantly turn out one great piece after the
other, with virtually no effort at all! It's not fair! Nothings Fair! I
HATE THIS WORLD! I HATE EVERYTHING!

I think it has something to do with the three P's of fanfic writing:

1.Patience
2.Persistance
3.Proofreaders, lots of proofreaders!!!:)

Arghs! That's it! I quit! I can't take this any more! No more writing for
me! I was OBVIOUSLY never cut out for this line of work! Writing is for
PEOPLE who actually HAVE talent, something that I lack! Something that most
everyone else has BUT ME! You guys don't know how lucky you are!

Don't quit. Just let it go for a bit then when you feel you are ready
continue
writing. There isn't a time limit on this.

Now, please, move on to the next post and pretend this never existed. I am
sorry about my over-sized mouth, but, my writing has been causing me
unbelievable amounts of frustration lately. I REALLY had to left off some
steam. I'm not blaming any of you, just myself. That's all.

I think everyone who writes fiction get frustrated on their stories from
time to time so it isn't unusual. Hope it helped.
