Your Stories You Don't Like or Wish You Could Change

In You're Never All Alone I wish that I hadn't killed off so many characters. That was... a little pathetic... and if I hadn't done that it wouldn't have been so dramatic and actually had the potential to be a good story.

In Total Eclipse of the Heart I wish I could go back and add some oomph to Lindsey's character. She was just sort of... blah..

Hm. Well, I sort of wrote my self into a corner with both 788 and The Fall... shame, too, because I liked those stories.

They were both sort of the same, though. :XD

Most of them

I think a lot of my older stories weren't executed properly, even if people really liked them.
Wrong is Relative, for instance, could have been executed a lot better and without the typical cliches that went into it.

The Master Vocalist. I just...the style ischoppy and the chapters don't really work. However, one of my fans says it's the best out of all my stories. I've trid rewriting it...but I just can't seem to. The sequel is much better. Even though there are pov changes within a single chapter.

Almost all of them.
Really, they could all be so much better.

I'll Keep You Safe.

It's boring and I hate it.

I wish I could change the way I wrote The Bird and The Worm.
I have no idea why I was so proud of it.

I will rewrite Mislaid & Irretrievable.
While I am proud of it, I know I can do much, much better now. My writing has progressed over the past two years.

Sometimes my writing just sounds so amateur, I can't take it.
As in, it seems sort of... unorganized, and boring.

The weird thing is, that only tends to happen when I write chaptered stories.
I'm usually pretty satisfied with my one-shots.

My oldest story: Rainbow City, it's just terrible. The story goes too quickly, the dialog is horrible. But I've been convinced to keep it, so I can look back in a few years and think. "What was I thinking?"

I hate the character development in Say It Like You Mean It!, but I love the plot. But I dislike the plot in A Little Bit Louder Now!, the sequel, while I love the character development. I just feel like both of them are too rushed, and one day I'm definitely going to revise the hell out of both of them and thicken them up.

Same with The Mighty Mosh. The plot is so simple and I wish I could think of something else to add to it, but I love the characters too much to change any of them. It's so boring to me, though...

Can't Finish What You Started is kinda meh. I don't know; I am sort of proud of it in a way, but overall I do think I would change it if I felt like I could anymore. I feel like I rushed it and didn't let it be everything it could be and worst of all it didn't turn out to be at all what I planned it to be. Well, I mean in some ways that was good, but in other ways it wasn't, due to my rushing. I don't dislike it, but I would change it for sure.

To be honest, every time I read through something I've written, there's something I want to change about it.

In Velvet Darkness I feel that the story took way too long to get going - about half the book just seemed to be made up of introduction - and then there were times in it where you can tell that I had no idea where the plot was going, and the characters just seemed to be wandering aimlessly from place to place. (It's a quest story)

In Shattered (working title) I think the plot could have been developed more before the characters all jumped to conclusions. The way they solved the mystery they were facing with such little information was pretty miraculous. And then the ending was really weird and all sort of strangely magical, and was pretty unbelievable, even for a fantasy story.

Big City Boy is just.... I don't even know anymore. At first, I loved it, but then it kinda fell into this pattern where everything in Frank and Gerard's relationship is just perfect and nothing can go wrong and blah blah blah, which is not what I wanted. That, and I think I rushed them into the relationship. Like, it just happened way too fast, especially since Frank did something really stupid.

I wish I could go and erase everything from chapter six on because honestly, I don't like anything after chapter five. That, and I wish I could change it from being written in past tense to present tense, because I don't really like writing in past tense.

I dunno, there's a lot I want to change about that story.

I love the idea for Sweet Charity but the execution is painful.

I also love my vampire story that I wrote ages back but the start was awful, the middle non-existant and the end was perfect but it got deleted and I can't recreate it.

I wish I could change Crooked. It's been a year since I've written it, and the pacing is so slow. I'm up to 20+ chapters and I'm nowhere as far as I wanted to be. I intend to finish it, but I've been putting it off because I'm not where I wanted to be with it and I wanted to be close to finishing it with the number of chapters I have, not just beginning the ideas I had for it.

I'm really growing to strongly dislike Retrouvailles. Unfortunately it's my most popular story and I'm already 25 chapters in so I'm going to finish it, but I have no urge to write it anymore. It's a sequel, and most of the time I wish I would've just left it alone and never started it.

I wish Broken Bird wasn't dead/dying, even if no one reads it.
However, I am working on reviving it, so keep your fingers crossed for me, please!

Where to begin?

Twisted. I began writing it two years a go. My writing wasn't the best then and some of the plot needs serious improvement. But it's my most popular story somehow, I stopped writing it, I lost my passion for the story, and it remains unfinished but I promise my readers the last chapter will be written. I'm just not sure when.

Our Dirty Little Secret. A Jared Leto student/teacher story. It's complete and my second most popular story. There are a few plot twist I would change if I ever had the time to go back and rewrite it. And I would really rewrite the ending. It now seems unsatisfying.

Falling Away with You. Start off great and I lost my love for it halfway though. At some point I want to rewrite it and develop the characters more. It has potential.

There are others (and some I've deleted all together) but those three are the biggest for me.
