I have a problem of writing a few pages, then thinking it all sounds stupid, and scrapping it. Is this a normal part of writing and should I just try sticking through it knowing I could later go back and edit if it needs to be?
It seems like the hardest thing for me is to create and introduce characters. I have no problem writing about characters already established in someone else's work. That's where most of my practice has come from - Fan Fiction. But I want to create my own work and find it difficult to introduce my own characters. I can create them fine, knowing their likes, dislikes, personalities, etc. . . But how to introduce them. That's why I often feel my first pages sound so stupid because I'm trying to think of how to introduce a character without wasting a page of descriptors. Or is that normal?
This is how I feel after I've written a few pages - :head I'd rather feel this way - :snoopy
