Re: Fandom Talk/Vent?

I've been there. I tend to do 2 things
1)Force myself to sit down and finish the damn thing, know that not everything I create will be to my satisfaction. Sometimes, it's better to finish a fic and post it to get it out of your WIP zone rather than agonize over how bad/incomplete it is. A few years ago I watched a Dan Olsen/Folding Ideas video and he talked about a project he did where the end result wasn't to his satisfaction but he completed it. And that was the whole purpose of the project. Complete the project by THIS date. In the long run, it will do you more good to complete a not-so-great project and move onto another project rather than get slowed down by the worries of perfection/"doing it right".
2)Take a break from said fic by not writing for at least 1 day. In the meantime, I am pulling up things that inspired me to write the fic (songs, fan vids/art, etc). I spend some time ruminating on the story and then after a day or 2 I either go to end and fix up or re-read the fic and adjust accordingly.

One of the first fics I wrote had 4 chapters and I wrote like 3 different last chapters. The first 2 drafts was setup as I imagined the original ending to be. But something felt lacking. I took a couple days away from my fic, returned to it and changed up a lot of the scenario to find the ending I wanted. But it felt better, because I connected a lot of the previous events back to the last chapter. An exercise that made me not afraid to make drastic changes to an ending I kept holding onto.
Good luck writing nonny!

Thanks. Honestly, I've done both with mixed results in the past. I think I just need to push through it, because the story itself is complete. I'm just not satisfied with how the ending's worded at the moment.

AYRT
Yeah, totally been there before too! I think taking a break from the actual words can do you good. Reset your mind, and hopefully after a few days you can come back and find a way to complete it for publishing.
