Dern it, this is happening to me with every story I write....
I just go back from the beginning and re-write the whole thing, if I think the core plot is a good idea and it's just the writing that's letting it down.

Same here....
Same here....
And everyone says my stories are so good, when I think not.Shoot, I posted a story I started writing last night... who knows how bad it is?
Either that or they're blind to bad writing.
Because they're blind and want to be nice.
I don't mind it, as long as it isn't all like "RAWR!!! I HATE YOU AND WANT TO THROW YOU OFF A CLIFF!!! YOU'RE THE REASON THE WORLD IS A MESS!!!" type of criticizing.
Haha, Talia, you're just downright awesome.
Heeeaaad, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes....

ugh that happens to me all the time. Once, I had been writing one for two years and I got to almost 200 pages, and I read one of my favourite books, and I found out that it was almost identical to my story! So, I know this is hard, but move on. Forget about the story you're writing, and write a new one. And I guarantee you, it will be LOTS better then you're previous one, and you'll get to learn from your mistakes and improve on them. Good luck!
You get a shovel and dig yourself out of the hole.
Leave it for six months, then go back and reread it again. Maybe you'll find it's not so terrible after all. Then, also, you are sane enough to edit it and make it an okay story. Or possibly even good.
I have a new what do you do, because I have issues with this part of my story, like how to continue it. What do you do when you sit next to your friend, who you've had a crush on for over a year, and you are too shy to say anything to him without blushing?
what if my narrator's not the protagonist, but i make the narrator seem the protagonist?
that sounds cool. Kinda like how watson says stuff about sherlock holmes all the time. As long as you make it not confusing and not boring, I'd definitely read it. :)
Yep. :P Sorry, my writing doesn't always make the most sense to the people outside my head.

That sounds really creative and unique.
