you should NEVER throw away anything you write. EVER. It's like the #1 rule for writers! You never know, 10 years down the road you could come across something you wrote and love it and develop it into something great. Eeek... that WAS an act of violence! .. unless you're not really planning to become a writer..
yea, i ususally follow that rule, but i guess i've given up on all those old stories. I shredded them, though, cuz even though I dont want them anymore, i dont want other people to have em either
aww, that makes me sad! You killed those characters. :(
heh
I get really attached to my writing.... even though I never have time to write anymore
Unless you think that peice is holding you back. I've read a lot of critiques that talk about how writers seem to form a style too early and then stay with that because they're used to writing that way. A fresh palatte is good, occasionally. I've thrown old stuff away, but kept single lines or phrases from old writing that I was happy with. That way you let your past influence you, not dictate you.
ahhh very good point
