Cut and Scrap

I’m down to the last 70 pages of edits and what do I do? I decide to rewrite the ending. :eek: Yep, I’m nuts. I freely admit it. But I think it needs to be rewritten. I think it can be tighter, faster paced, a bit more exciting, and a better piece of work all around. I’ve got it all planned out. Now I just need to get it done. I’m running out of time…

You know, sometimes when I sit here, I pause a moment and think of how much I love what I do. I absolutely adore being a writer. I’m awed everyday that I get paid to do it. It’s never a chore, though I do bemoan when I can’t seem to get it in gear. It’s truly my passion. :love: It’s hard to explain, but everything in my life requires something from me. Writing gives it back. There’s nothing in the world like finishing a story. And right now, as I’m charging full bore into my deadline, I’m excited. In just a few days it’ll be done and I’ll experience a high like no other. I’m really looking forward to it. :)

  1. You can do it. :yay:


  2. Writing can be such a high, you’re so right. I feel so fortunate, too, to be able to do what I love. And to have people actually read what I write! It’s amazing. Good luck with the rewrites. :)


  3. Decided to rewrite, eh? I can’t say that I’m surprised. ;-) Good luck.
