Why?

Why is it that I always get major writing days when I know I will struggle to write a single thing. I was up early this morning after spending more of the early hours (after hubbie went to work) thinking about my next chapter. I eventually got up and wrote what appears to be the beginnings of a good chapter of intense feelings for all the characters. I think I like to write alot where a character can't have what they want the most before I feel it reflects real life more. I mean just because you fall in love with someone doesn't mean they will love you back or they won't already be in love with someone else. That said though...I am a sucker for happy endings at the moment and this one is destined to be just that. A wholesome, lovey dovey, kissing all the way happy ending. lol.

I know I won't get much written today as its the end of the month at work and Will & Grace is on tonight so not going to get much time on the computer unless Nick stays late. I'm doing a chapter for 'Lost without you' and then moving on to one of my older stories that has been pushed to the side for a few weeks. I'm hoping to bring it back from the dead and finish it. See I have this thing where it starts brilliantly and I really draw my readers in but then I get this blah blah and it starts to be not so brilliant.

I posted a short story on a website yesterday to be reviewed and my first review kind of hurt to be honest. Hence the fact I never show my work to anyone, it wasn't exactly horrible...it was honest but she basically told me to re-write the whole thing which wasn't the point of the story. Its supposed to be short, sweet and emotional. She said the main character cried too much and this annoyed her but if your boyf died wouldn't you cry alot?I know I would. I'm obviously missing a big point here of some sort. Oh yeah, she didn't like it. I might re-write it when I get the time after all the others are finished but until then I'm leaving as sketchy and awful as it is for the pure reason that I thought it was good considering I wrote it in about two hours!
