Back to Editing

I’m not flailing. I’m making progress. I know, keep telling myself that. But it’s true. Once I rewrote the beginning, the part I had trashed when I began the last rewrite, I couldn’t move forward anymore. Finally I realized it was because I’d rewritten the next part so recently.

Re-Write

Well, here we go again.  Time to attempt re-writing Eve once more.  Only this time–I think I may have it.  (Yes, I said that before.  Hush.) There’s more to Ben’s conflict than his PTSD.  I get it now.  I was starting to get glimmers before, but…well, I’ve loved Ben for a long time.  It was
