Journal #54

September 27, 2021 by Deanna Repose Oaks

Finding myself reliving vicariously through my old writing. I’m glad I was told to look at that piece from the writing point of view rather than the personal point of view. It made me relook at everything. Revisiting my previously published pieces and the response of the publishers has been therapeutic. I see the writing now. I see the lack of editing now. I know what that means now.

Now… if I can only apply this newfound positive energy to the book that I’m currently working through. Rewrites are tough, and even more so when the current rewrite is not the first rewrite. I find that what I changed before should not have changed until I change it back only to find that doesn’t work either. But, I’m going to get through it, one way or another. And, then I’m going to get better and get faster. That’s how it works, right?
