Ode To Editing

[avocado_love]

Oh editing my own work,
I hate you so.
None of the characters do what I want.
It makes me feel low.

Zhao is out of character.
Katara is going to burst into tears.
Zuko's apparently on the rag.
Sokka fails to confront his fears.

Going to have to stop now.
I'd rather beta for Kevin and Kim.
Fuck my attempt editing.
I CAN'T THINK OF A RHYME. :D

Oh editing is no prize
It leaves you feeling ill
But to go without is not wise
So you must drink this bitter pill

Though beating for Kevin and Kim
Might seem more fun for now
Our hopes for updates would be slim
Such a sad fate, you can't allow

Your genius is like a precious stone
Something we all do appreciate
So although you must edit alone
The feedback community is great

WTF THIS +100000000!

THIS!

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

Bows, thanks.

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! And hot DAMN this is good! :D

You win the internets.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

I try, hehe. Chapter III is making me cry, so some light verse really helps!

[miki-km.livejournal.com]

Oh your poems made me LOL by far,
To which I must respond likewise.
Dungeonwriter has sight afar.
Edits will bring a better prize.

But do not push what will not go,
if break be need then rest your mind
for but a time to sit or so
but do not tempt to be resigned

to night whose rest we dare to know.
Your tale that makes us fascinate
when we stop, we say a "whoa."
To pause is your own dance with fate.

BTW i am no poet (at all), but doing that only seemed appropriate.

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Very, very good advice in there. :) And your poem was much more rhymey-er than mine! :D Haha!

[miki-km.livejournal.com]

XD that's cause i cheated and used a rhyme generator! x.X;

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

o.o

I also hate editing my own stuff, especially if I have to rewrite chunks and rip out parts I like but don't mesh. Argh!

I couldn't help but lol at "Zuko's apparently on the rag", though.

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Lol. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who hates to edit sometimes.

[eilonnwy.livejournal.com]

I thought Zuko was always on the rag?

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

LOL! Why yes, yes he is. In this chapter moreso than usual.

[eilonnwy.livejournal.com]

:) He's pretty bitchy in the chapter I just finished in my fic. So don't feel bad! It's Zuko's fault, not yours. XD

My hands are too cold
for comfortably typing
this is my haiku

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Brilliant haiku is brilliant
Was muchly amused
Next time I will SO do one


... What, you never heard of the 7,5,7? :P

[engelen.livejournal.com]

lol you are indeed
a maverick yes
with words and poetry

[dustyjack.livejournal.com]

This was a masterpiece that truly embodies the plight of the writer. XD
