RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/21/18> Letter to Santa; wiped away with not even a trace left.
Howdy sir sultnpapper! wow you got alot of writing to do and things to square away. I hate it when I lose important things on the computer or a program starts doing the updates or something and everything gets shutdown...like overnight and you get up the next day and everythiing you were working on and had open is gone!
I just got this years letter to Santa done and send off to him and the folks here on steemit so that is one down and several to go.
It was a bitch losing that first letter to Santa , the second one just didn't capture the spirit of me if you know what I mean. Hard to explain but it is good , I think.
Both @catweasel and I agree ... what you (generic "you") rewrite is never as good the second time around. Not for either of us. I don't know why that is, but the second version is consistently inferior. That's a big part of why losing the first one is always so painful. It's not just the work involved to resurrect it -- it's the disappointment when you finally do finish.
I've been known to just abandon a project completely at that point. I figure it must never have been meant to see the light of day. Because that's what happens. Writing ... and rewriting ... and editing ... and starting over. Writers get used to it. Goes with the territory.
Howdy today sir sultnpapper! haha, writing letters to Santa, that's hilarious in itself!
You should try it sometime @janton, unless you don't believe in Santa Claus like my youngest girl Shortie. ;)
haha! of course I believe in Santa Claus, a person would have to be crazy not to! lol.
