(no subject)

I gutted the ending of a story I'm working on. Entrails and subjectless phrases everywhere! It's rejecting all the transplant endings I'm trying to sew in. Which means, those endings aren't right, which means I have to wait until my brain comes up with the real ending, which means I'll be panicky and down on myself until I do.

I've lost the voice of this fic too. Pretty sure that is contributing to the stymie. I had a casual, snarky, funny without being jokeman vibe, and everything I write now sounds flat, and the snark goes CLUNK. The conventional writing advice to "wait as long as possible before editing" didn't help so much this time.
