Rewriting.
Now THIS feels like beating my brains out on the keyboard.
I rarely have it feel this hard when I'm writing, and I guess I'm lucky. When I'm rewriting short stories it doesn't always feel like pushing through an invisible wall of the consitency of that tacky glue with only the strength of my thoughts. (My thoughts are neither sharp, nor Hurcules. This is not much fun.)
But I needed to do this. I've known it and have been neatly dodging the issue in most of the book. Or just working up to it. Yeah, that's a more positive take, and likely as accurate. >,<
I did a little work on cleaning up tags but didn't tackle any of the biggies. Still not sure if I'm going to have a tag-bar longer than my posts on the front page, but we'll see.
Back to rewriting, there is a sort of exhilaration when you cut to the quick and start rebuilding something that fits the real vision of the story.
But still, brains would be leaking out my ears if I weren't taking copious breaks.
Maybe I'll get better at this? The blogging of Veteran Authors does not offer much hope on this, though...
