This is just a funny confession I thought I'd make.

I have this weird tendency where I'll brood over something I wrote that's in the backlog...and on rare occasions, a braincell will go "Ok you know what, the story here is horrible, we should change it." So, I change it! One of the early chapters for my current story doubled in length because of this issue (went from 5 entries to 10...).

You can probably guess what I'll say next. Just this morning, the same thing happened with my current backlog.

Everything was scrapped. Completely.

I am now officially out of backlog.

I need an adult.

Send help.

Scrapping backlog? Weak. Try scrapping stories. Scratch that. Scrap your entire career as a writer.
Start making video games. Never release so much as a demo before you switch to cabinetry. Finish one set of shelves. Burn it. Find an old edition D&D druid to reincarnate you. Start a new life as an owl. Start streaming on twitch.

Better get to writing again. Lol.

Buy more seriously, it's a common thing. I just scrapped an entire chapter bc I wasn't happy with it and I am starting over. XD
