Number four down
I just finished with the fourth rewrite of something I’ve been working on for some time. It was a good pass through this time, and I believe it will make a big difference. To be honest, I’m beginning to get sick of this story, though. I love the story, don’t get me wrong, but after so long, I’m starting to get really, really, really sick of it.
So, while the going is good, I’m going to go through a final polish; followup on some notes, and call it good. For now anyway.
Part of the reason, beyond becoming sick of this story--did I mention that I’m getting sick of this story?--is that I’m itching to move on to something new that I’ve been stewing over for the past year or so. It’s something that I’m excited about but refuse to let myself move to it until I finish the current project. I’ve limited myself to quickly scribbling down notes, scene outlines, and bits of dialog.
I can see that beer at the end of this long walk ...
