having a rejects doc is great because I can delete and redo whole scenes without losing anything. and also because I can keep pet paragraphs like this one until I find a scene willing to adopt them
#hm i should make an original writing tag#this is not from the sex pollen fic btw. it's from jamoga au#they were having a sleepover and maul had a bad dream <3#yes this post is just because i want to share this bit before it's locked away for possibly forever in the rejects doc#but also having a rejects doc is legitimately good for your writing. if there's one writing advice i can give it's keep a rejects doc#you don't have to save every little paragraph you delete but like. the bigger ones. the ones you spent more time writing.#and especially the ones that feel like they're the reason you got stuck#cut them out and try again without/before them. see if that solves it. and if it doesn't you can put them back if you want.#or cut more and try again from another point until something does work#it's what i'm doing with this scene#it has some really got bits but it's just not working. i need them to do something else#i can recycle some of the good points‚ but the scene itself? to the rejects with ye‚ foul ambiance
