Let’s face it, we have great ideas as writers. I find my
issue is that my mind doesn’t stop thinking. I have written one book several
times already (two complete times and one more time halfway ~50k into), and now
I’m thinking ‘What if…’ and thus is born the 4th attempt at this
story. While each attempt is great, I’m finding I grow as a writer with each
version. Do I view this as a waste in my earlier times for the discarded files?
Nope, not one bit.
I’m attempting this time to step out of the 1st
person POV. I know, most people don’t write in 1st but 3rd,
though I’ve just naturally gravitated to the 1. Now that I have my realistic playlist
of 41 songs, I’m ready for the challenge and, most importantly, I’m excited! I
know my characters, I know their quirks, and it’s time to step it up! To my
alpha readers my heartfelt apology but a writer has to do what she feels – plus
your gonna love it!
