Multiple Frustrations.

Maybe the incessant rain is getting me down, but ugh, I am not a happy girl today. I have a rash on the back of my neck that's driving me crazy. Also, even though I've finished almost forty pages of my story I've hit a big snag that's going to force me to rewrite the whole bloody thing.

With the changes I have to make, I think that the prologue will be a lot stronger. But hell, nothing makes me feel more incompetent than having to seriously retool the setting and characters this early on. =_= The flaws in my writing keep hitting me in the face. I can't tell if I'm becoming a better writer or a worse one. How do people just work off the top of their head? For me the process is always about crossing out, tearing up and starting over. Ugh! =_=

And I tried playing VP2 last night and already it's draining me. I just want to finish it but what exactly am I getting out of this? I'm so frustrated with myself for finding this game disappointing. I feel like tri-Ace took a 30-hour game and padded it by making it be too difficult to create items, learn skills and manage your party. I never finish anything any more. The last time I played a game and enjoyed it straight through was with Mother 3. I am sick and tired of playing mediocre games...
