It's no good.

Hacking away at this thing, wincing at it and wondering if I took too many drugs when writing it or too few.*

I always tell people, 'Editing is easier.' Someone remind me to stick a cake in my ear the next time I say that. Yes, it's easier but it's really slow when total re-writing is part of it. And it is. Because I appear to have written the entire thing with my left foot.

You know, this may just be no damn good.

Maybe this is a sugar low. Maybe I'm down cos my boyfriend is in Switzerland. Maybe I'm just really tired. Or maybe it is true poo.

Wa wa wa.

I need chocolate.

*Alas, only caffeine. Maybe that's the problem...

Usual editing I can handle; it's the necessity for total re-writing that's driving me mad. God, what was I on?

I hope you're not deleting the original - just in case you look back and think that you shouldn't have changed it. I can't imagine how awful that would be.

That has happened to me before; I twiddled with stuff so much that it fell to bits in front of me like an onion. It's something I don't seem to be able to resist with poetry, which is why I'm no good at it.

With this I'm slightly safer, because I have lots of copies.
