I’m not satisfied with my performance. Obviously.
I’ve got several pieces that need to go out, but I can’t find the time or the energy to actually do it. I mean, it’s ridiculous that I won’t.
How the hell is anything going to get published if I don’t let anyone else look at it?
Also, I’m really unhappy with what I did today toward the novel.
I have this whole Grumpy Old Men concept breeding with a “state of politics” idea brewing, but instead, I wrote the main character as a stuck up ass-kissing effete.
He’s supposed to be modern liberal satire; a Democrat who thinks rules actually mean something to the boorish neighbour who has bought off the police and local government.
But instead, it’s shit; I have a feel for the character. What I wrote wasn’t it.
The only thing I can think of is to move on. Rewriting at this point is always an option, even if it’s not happening today.
Fuck. Today sucks.
