The thing about plotting, it gives one something to really rail against to build the tension needed to push away from the plan with great force when pantsing inspiration strikes. #amWriting #amRewriting #anotherDeadMC #muchLamented #toDeathOrBloodyStory

Happened 2 days ago and, this time there was a hole - Hester can’t both be in police custody and at a family dinner too can she… #sigh #amrewriting
Woke up at 4am worrying about a new/not-noticed-until-now plot hole in my manuscript. Stressed so much I didn’t go back to sleep.
Cold light of day: there is no plot hole and my stupid busy brain was just messing with me
Result: tired 😴

I'm more and more convinced I have written all of the right words, just not in the right order. 🤣

Reading through the old project. I'm probably going to end up doing a total rewrite but only because I write better now than I did a decade ago and I think it'll be better if I do. Need to finish rereading it and make myself a few notes. #amrewriting

#AmReWriting, added 1,500ish words to the draft today (after removing many) and finally hit 59k! The goal is ~75kish and Becca and I have reinstated writer's club, which will help a lot.

I had one uncover a huge plot hole in my manuscript today that is going to require a major rewrite to fix.
Worth it! This is why early feedback is ESSENTIAL and AMAZING.

Another chapter edited/rewritten. Needs a final read out loud and I'll be moving onto one the next one. But 2 to 2.5 hours focused on my text is the maximum I can comfortably do. It's all progress, so that's a positive. #amediting #amrewriting #writingcommunity

I’m rewriting an unpublished mystery I wrote over five years ago and haven’t looked at in at least three years. I see a lot of potential in this story! #mystery #amrewriting

Novel update:
Revisions continue, even though school holidays throttled my writing time.
I think I've managed to fix this one section in way I describe as making a pleat in the story fabric & sewing so that its edges are undetectable.

Working on my rewrite makes me feel a bit more accomplished than I probably should. I mean, it’s not like I’ve written 25k *new* words or anything
But still…It’s a win for me🏆😏
