Panic.

The stuff that I wrote last night, I really don't like. At least, not the stuff that I wrote in the small hours of the morning. It's way too sappy and girly and the whole thing is a bit too girly and I'm starting to lose faith in my ability to do this a bit, even though there are lots of bits that I'm really pleased with.

It just doesn't do what I needed it to do, and what I should do is delete the bit I don't like and rewrite it.

Except that that's likely to really hurt (if not kill) my momentum and I can't afford to stop writing.

Eep.

This story is really, really scary.

ETA: OMG, also, I can't get into my email. Fucking Gmail.

I agree with them others - keep writing. Once you've got something written, you can edit, but getting the words down to fill the blank pages is *much* harder than doing editing and rewriting. Go you!

You are right, too. Keeping the momentum going - especially on a story that's intimidating simply by dint of projected word count - is much more important than being word perfect at this stage.

Plus, I've got a month to edit. Or more, if I finish before the deadline (ahaha, yeah right).
