I've come to an epiphany about my writing and how I feel about my place in the world of bandfic.
I write light and fluffy for the most part. Which is fine! Right?
But... I'm like the comedic actor who longs for the respect that his dramatic actor brothers get.
(Good Lord, I'm Eddie Murphy and I want to be Denzel Washington! *LOL*) Hey, maybe I can develop into Tom Hanks?
Anyway, it was a pivotal moment for me to recognise this in myself.
And I have high hopes for my Biffno work. *crosses fingers*

on 2007-03-04 03:24 am (UTC)Maybe "light and fluffy" weren't the best words I could have used. I think I was meaning not dark and not angst-filled and not overly deep. Don't get me wrong, I like what I write and I enjoy going back and rereading them, but I do know I have to get over this feeling that they don't hold as much... value?... as compared to other works? It's my old demon of lack of self-confidence rearing its ugly head. *rueful grin* You'd think I'd have that sucker under control by now, eh?
Thanks, K!

And just so you know... in Ev's world, there's always a happy ending somewhere - even if it's in a story I haven't written yet or just an extrapolation in the back of my mind. *chuckling* Pollyanna, remember? *grin*

And I broke the 3000 word barrier today with Biffno, so I'm feeling pretty chuffed about that!
