The Real Work Begins
And how! I don’t know what I was thinking all this last year about how I wrote a complete novel. NOW I’m writing a novel! I’ve taken out much and added much and am still going through and tightening my paragraphs. I’m STILL finding little mistakes I made from the last edit or never caught at all. I’m not disheartened, though. I’m only experiencing now what I’ve read about all along: Writing is hard work when you have to scrutinize your work, tear it up, break it down, and sometimes, start all over again before you can say it’s done!
But I’m liking my novel now better than I did before…and it’s worth the pain of having to do what I have to do.
I will be published one way or another–by a publisher or by myself!
Back to work for me. Check in later.
