Loff.
I just wanted you all to know that I don't hate my book any more. I love my book. Love love love. Or, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
buymeaclue would say, loff loff loff.
It's still horrible. Four pages took me an hour and a half last night. But it's a good kind of horrible. It's a fixable kind of horrible. I can see it getting better with every stroke of the pen. I have pages of notes, things to do to these two books. Pages and pages, and it will work and the book will be better and I will be happy. I know what I'm doing with this book so much better now that they're both drafted. This is part of the nonsequential writing for me, I think: revising the whole book instead of trying to get one segment absolutely perfect.
And I know what I'm doing with writing in general so much better than I did when I started these books. I am a better writer than I was then. This should come as more of a relief than a surprise, since I started them three years ago. Still. It's a good thing.
The jewelry thing is a problem, however.elisem and porphyrin and palinade: bad, bad influences with their pretty, pretty beads. Amber and Rachel did not have this bad influence on me. It's story people who do it. Sigh.

Good kind of horrible
That happens to me a lot when I'm writing. I know the writing is, well, less than what I'd like--but I see the potential of what it could be with a little work. And I almost always do see changes I can make for the better when I reach the last page.
Glad you're loffin' your book again!
