Andi,
Sometimes, you just have to get the juicy stuff out of your system and then
go back and add the connecting stuff. I like to subject the less exciting
passages in my fiction to more stringent editing, to make sure I'm saying
what needs to be said as succinctly and clearly as possible. I also throw in
a little humor to help keep it interesting.

I don't really know how to word this but I was wondering if anyone can help
me with techniques with paissing my writing?  By that I mean...  I want to
get to the juicy parts of the story but at the same time I need to get
sertain events and interactions in the story before other things happen.  I
don't want the story to get boring but these things need to be included for
the more juisy parts to make sense.  Also some times I have trouble
wrighting the less interesting parts because I get excited about what is
coming.  I want it all to make sense to the reader but to stay interesting
with out being too jumbled.  I also do not want it to be overly dramatic but
at the same time it needs to have the right amount of drama to be
interesting.  Sorry if this question is strange but I would appreciate any
help.  I think I accomplish this but it is always a struggle and I can not
be sure with out an audience.  I am also afraid to let people read my work
untill I have gotten it to a point where I feel it is at least deasent
enough to be judged.  I have a milion drafts and corections before I even
consider letting another rip it apart.  Don't get me wrong I like
constructive criticism but I give myself the work over first before I take
it from others.

Andi
