Rewrites and More Rewrites
Today was fairly productive. I’m moving through my rewrite of The Witch’s Stone fairly quickly–hit chapter 18 today. I’m pleased that the version that survived the great crash of 2007 was closer to complete than I realized. There are some things that I lost, scenes and phrases that I remember enough to be annoyed that their missing, but not well enough to get back exactly as I had it. I know I said I was going to accept that, but saying and doing are two different things. On the upside, I do feel like I’m digging deeper into my characters as I rewrite this time around.
Also, continuing to rewrite Blood & Bone–working on chapter seven and should have it done and ready to post on my critique group by tomorrow.
I’ve decided to put any new things off until September. Trying to rewrite two books at once with DS home from school is tough, but trying to do it with a WIP on the go would be virtually impossible. That’s not to say that I’m not still brainstorming for my new story. I am, and I’m still very excited about it. Both my heroine and hero are there in my head, interacting together, telling me about themselves. I can picture scenes and how they’d behave in those scenes. Their GMC’s are starting to form. I’m really looking forward to getting started, but I’m going to wait until I’m ready to give it the attention I need to.
On days like this, I love what I do.
