User blog:Kolpik/Sometimes I even Ugh Myself

Ever read a story that makes you go, "Ugh, why am I reading this?" Of course you have. One of the stories I am writing currently makes me ask a similar question. I don't know how it happened, but it's reading like one of those boring youtube demonstration videos of a lady making a candle mold.

You know, the kind where it seems like someone with nerve damage is filming with a smart phone and didn't plan ahead or edit it at all? The kind of video where nearly a minute of it is dedicated to her peeling wax off her hand or she has to start over the entire project, because she messed up, but just keeps filming. Yeah, my little story about a lady who starts a website that sells candles has gone off the rails.

Editing is a wonderful thing and the story may eventually turn out all right, but it's starting to get a bit... ughy. Does anyone have any stories about a time where they struggled to finish a story that they were slowly beginning to dislike or even hate? Your thoughts on this may help me to get over a slight slump I am experiencing lately. I write daily, but I haven't finished a single draft of anything this month.
