Just over a month ago I posted that I had scrapped my current WIP story line to revamp it. I am not currently back up in my word count to where I was before I erased it. And it feels good. The story flows more smoothly, has more dynamics, it's just overall better! No other way to say it. I like it!
I've got the first eight chapters out with my crit partner and a few friends getting all the feedback I can. While they are reading it over I'm continuing with the story. I'm moving along quickly, which means lots of late nights since I work an 8-5 job Monday-Friday and have a little one to take care of. Happy to say I'm slowly training myself to run on less sleep. It's rough because I gave up drinking caffeine back in early March so when I get really tired I have to resort to other measures...like cranking up the music and dancing around the room. I have to say it's all worth it!
I can't tell you how excited I am to finish this WIP!
It feel so good to be back.....
Currently listening to (no, not Eminem, but I did sing his song in my head as I wrote the last line): ET by Katy Perry. I can't stop listening to this song! I heard it for the first time (I mostly listen to a rock station, no KP) during The 9 lives of Chole King preview (don't watch the show, just saw the previews) and couldn't get it out of my head, so I downloaded it and keep listening to it over and over! Not sick of it yet!

Yes! It's such a great feeling to feel back at it. I'm creeping towards that feeling too!
Awesome!! Good girl.
Thanks ladies! I'm learning to balance everything; life, writing, reading, breaks...makes it much easier.
Ooh..don't you love that feeling?! When you know you made the right call by scrapping something because its replacement is SO much better! Cheers to that!!
I gave up caffeine 13 years ago. I had a dangerous Diet Coke addiction. Anyway, you'll be so glad you gave it up. There are moments of serious drag, but all in all--I really think your body will function better without it.
That's so exciting that you are back at work on your WIP. It's always a wonderful feeling when you're making progress and getting feedback :)
Thanks, I'm staying strong Bethany! :) I've stopped drinking it before. Longest has been for 10 months. Hoping to keep it up this time! :)
It is wonderful! Thanks Rachel!
