Rewrite, Rewrite, Rewrite

Working on the 5th draft of Violet's Monster: Volume I today. I'm surprised I still like parts of it. There's a lot of potential in this story that I hope I can pull out in the next few edits. I got some good ideas today and hopefully will incorporate them once I start typing.

Sitting in my office listening to sad songs while running a red pen through my manuscript feels...

Right.

I feel whole when I'm doing this. Spinning stories in my brain, putting them on paper, working on it to make it even better time and time again...

It's a perfect feeling.

Of course, it's not really perfect - I'm still pulling my hair out about some continuity issues and figuring out how to make it more action-y instead of adverb-y, and stuff like that, but I know it's working and that I'm creating.

It's a good day.
