Two steps forward, one step back

[missroserose]

So...all that celebrating I was doing over having Finished a Thing?

Might have been a touch premature.

The Niggling Worry I had in the back of my head has been, sadly, confirmed by a beta reader as being rather more of a Noticeable Issue. Not quite a fatal one, fortunately - as it stands, it's a three-and-a-half, maybe close to four-star story. I could publish it and not be ashamed of it.

But I wouldn't be proud.

So, back to rewrites it goes. Which is frustrating, because I've already rewritten a third of it once, and this time it's probably going to be closer to two-thirds. And I have to decide whether I'm going to try and figure out how to fix the problem now, or put it off for next week.

Because frankly, sitting down with a glass of absinthe in front of Moulin Rouge sounds pretty darn good right about now.

Do you have a plan for this re-write? Because "rewrite" is not a plan. Ya know? If you have a plan, then take the weekend off to recharge your batteries and hit the ground running next week. But if you don't have a plan, you need to make a plan immediately, otherwise the chances of stalling out are way higher.

At least, that's how it went with my last chapter of Wolfy and the three re-writes I did of it.

As always, Leigh-san is most wise. *bows*

I know what's wrong. I don't have a specific plan to fix it as of yet. My goal is to work on that part today, try and fill in the gaps that are missing and then figure out how I'm going to incorporate the new information. As for the weekend, we'll see. I'm not actually feeling drained - frustrated, yes, but not drained. So I may work on it some more and see where it goes. :)
