Scattered thoughts on writing

My elation from a writing achievement dissipates like coffee steam, but the disappointment from a rejection abides like a pimple.

Am having trouble humanizing my villain. depressing because he reminds me of me.

Revisiting a first draft is like a bad morning after, but the only person I can apologise to is myslef.
