Rewrite

Yup, still not done.

There's just not enough hours in a day to do everything I want. If there was something to completely eliminate the need for sleep, let me know.

As I'm going through the pages, there's nothing but more questions for myself. Are the references to something to vague? Do they spell everything out too much? Are the characters forming clear enough for my reader? Are they just clear to me?

Since no one else has seen anything except the little bit I've posted, they'll remain questions for myself before they get to my editor.

A rewrite is the nightmare of writing. You want to forget the bad stuff, but it keeps coming back up. The good stuff never stays long enough to remember.

It's tedious and scrupulous questioning everything you've done up to this point.

I'll read one sentence and love it, hoping the next is just as tight and powerful. When it's not, I just want to burn the whole thing.

I haven't yet, so that's a good start.
