Day one hundred ninety-eight of my 365 Day Writing Project.
I haven’t posted here in a few days, but I have been continuing to read my first draft. I’m about to start Chapter Fifteen. Moving right along. It is an interesting process; a roller coaster of emotions tossing me back and forth in a bi-polar mindset I don’t yet know how to reconcile. Sometimes I cringe at the writing or part of a scene in the story. Other times, I am pleased. Now that I’m two-thirds of the way through the draft, I am relieved (yes, relieved!) to say the latter instance is more prevalent than the former.
Which leads me to conclude that despite the large amount of work my first draft needs, there is hope I can turn it into something good. Maybe even great.

What’s the worst part so far? Have there been any moments where you think ‘Oh. No. I have to rewrite at least half of this’?

Absolutely! There are a few places that need to either be tossed or totally rewritten, but one chapter in particular is full of issues. Mostly plot issues, like I couldn’t decide where things were going at the time. That chapter may hit the trash altogether! We’ll see if it is worth salvaging when I get into the rewrite. It brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, “it’s a work in progress!”
