There was this long hiatus of no writing for me. I made excuses and put it out of my mind for a while. I focused on other things.
But my mind kept coming back to it. Writing is something that won't let it be too far outside of my life.
One of the stalling blocks had been a (perceived) problem with the story I got a rough first draft done. But I have since figured out how to solve it.
So now it starts the rewrite phase, where I find all the parts that really fit and make sure they weave together into a good story without major loose threads.
Then there's the polishing. And the polishing. And the polishing.
Did I mention the polishing part?
Then I can start sending it to publishers and agents for rejection.
I'm excited about it (writing and the story both) again. Now if only I could find more time without giving up all my sleep...
