Re: What do you do when you come back to a draft after a while and everything just... sucks?

What I tend to do is just write it all over (or whatever parts I don't like or whatever just isn't flowing right for me), but underneath the draft. Directly underneath. It's just another take or version of whatever I was doing, but it's what's true for the story right now. And maybe it won't stick. Maybe it won't play out, maybe I'll use it for another story. But I changed or added what I felt needed that at the time.

If this has happened before, did it coincide with a depressive episode then? Everybody is different, but it's always good (at least in my experience) to kinda point out to myself -- hey. This is what's happening, and this is likely what's coloring my perspective/mood on this right now. And maybe walk away from it for a little a while and come back later. Which may mean days or months. I hope you're not too hard on yourself, nonnie.

My self-opinion does seem to dip during these episodes, yeah. I'm not usually working on a writing project so that negative energy is directed at other things (i.e., I get angry if I play video games too much).

Thanks for the advice. I probably should take a step back, as much as I want to grind my teeth and push through it.
