So, Shoot Me

Yep, I reworked my awful scene today. I can't seem to stay away from writing, hard as I try. What I've learned is, every single word can be improved if one scours their scenes. I'd pasted the bad passage into a new document and proceeded to retype it word for word until I reached the parts that needed changing, except I discovered better words as I was doing it.

It's a weird tic, but one my fellow writers might want to try ~ I retyped it single space, in an attractive font (as opposed to the standard Times New Roman) and it felt like I was writing something brand new. I dislike Times New Roman because it's ugly, but it's the best font for uploading into Kindle Create. I'm thinking, though, that I might resume my manuscript in a font more pleasing to the eye, and convert it to TNR at the end. That might seem silly, but I say, whatever works. 

Why did I go back? Because I'm not a quitter. I'm just not. Missing my one opportunity for success (which was completely my fault) really did a number on me psychically, and I reacted by declaring, "No more! No more writing!" But who is that hurting except me? That agent doesn't give two F's if I write or not.

I don't know how long this brand new attitude will last, but I'm fairly certain the novel will get finished, one way or another. 

Because no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop.
