Hell with it. Scene's back in :-)

Oh, but they are. They tell the story. Of course I know I create them, but it is amazing how far they will go when given the opportunity.

Your comment...'others, like you, so distrust that initial effort...' I don't distrust that initial effort, which I see as the creative aspect of my writing, but for me, that initial effort has to be written well. I'm a bit put off that you think you know what makes me tick. You have no idea...

Oh for God's sake...just tell the story. You are the master of grammar in your tale.

Oh God! I am fearful (yet excited) of the editing process. I was called out by a mentor of mine that I am writing to be published. I said of course I was, and she said to stop that right now. Write to finish the story. But I cannot. I have to write the best first version, the innocent...

You sparked something. Go with it a while. Surprise yourself. It is a lot of baggage, but I bring a lot of it on myself, telling anyone who will listen (or not), that I'm writing a Novel. A horror novel, at that! It kind of pushes me on. I'm 65K in...aiming for 105(ish)K. I don't give...
