the joy of rewriting

Good Morning All!!!

So recently I have been working on Finding Me, and as you can see I made some excellent headway last week 30,000 words. I wanted to continue this streak but fell short, now I knew that my friend would be in town and my husband would be working the same hours as me (which is rare and wonderful) however I had expected to still take time to write, well the problem isn't my friend it's me. So I wrote these wonderful words and realized that part of the story wasn't working as well as I had hoped, in fact it wasn't working at all. I had "writers block" if you will, but it wasn't that I had nothing to write about, it was the fact that this piece needed to be fixed before I moved on.

Ugh dread came over me. Only reason is because I knew it had to be done, now don't get me wrong once I write it I know I'll feel better, but in the moment knowing that the only thing standing between me and continuing on my path of a good first draft is that little story in the middle. Well okay so it's not little, which is why I must change it now, it makes the whole story. No I do not plan on giving details, however maybe a little snippet or two will come in the following weeks.

So I took the plunge and started re-writing the portion we're talking about and it's flowing beautifully, it makes me feel great just writing it down. I knew then that I had made the right decision! So I ask you have you had to rewrite or revise anything recently? Is anything giving you a hard time?!

Oh and also if you haven't participated in the story I've started on my blog please take a look! It's a lot of fun! Click Here!
