Oye vay! The dreaded re-write!

Imagine my surprise when I started editing my manuscript, a few days ago, and today I reached a section that left me annoyed.  Here I thought this was an 'adult novel,' but some of the content left me feeling as though I was reading the kinds of books I wrote 20 years ago.  I'll have to re-write the whole section, and perhaps MORE, as I'm only halfway through editing this first draft.  I'm sure this is normal for authors, but how disappointing!

  2. I know it seems discouraging now, but once it's published, I'm sure you'll breathe a sigh of relief. Writing isn't so bad, it's the going back over and over it again in editing to get it just right...that's the hard part. I know it'll be worth it someday! Dawn Dix...Author! :)
