Still, when people are trying to turn it inside out and upside down, even if it happens with the best intentions, it pretty much kills it for me.
Sorry, I am just trying to figure out what's happening here, because I cán be one of those nosy readers who suggest that hey, what if you did this and this! I try to be careful about it, because it's understandable that you want to write your story and not have someone else butt in, so usually, I only say those things when the writer asks for them or says that they have no idea where the story is going.
anyway, where does it go wrong? why does it kill the story? Is it because you somehow feel you lost control over it and why wouldn't it be your story anymore? I must've written hundreds of scientific reports by now, each of them checked, improved or sometimes deemed unfit enough to be rewritten completely. At the end of the day though, it's still me who's done all the work on it, it's still my research.
Obviously, if it ain't flowing, it ain't flowing, there's not much anyone can do at that point, I'm just curious where these feelings come from.
:( will be mourning the Director Jones story though.
