Yet AGAIN, I edited the first few chapters of the third draft of the novel and realized there was a better way to do things. So, yet again, I’m reworking things. It’s very, very frustrating.
I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep rewriting everything just because I edit. I have to accept that I’m never going to get things perfect. I think the only way to solve this particular problem is…just not to look over my stuff again until I finish the alpha version of the third draft.
If I don’t do that, then it will be a year from now and I’ll be dodging nuclear tipped artillery shells from MAGA Nazi forces and STILL not have a finish third draft. It’s going to be a real fucking pain in the ass and go against everything I’ve done the last few months — but it’s the only thing I can think of to fix this particular issue.
But before I do that, I’m going to rewrite everything according to a slightly better vision for the novel that editing has provided. Ugh.
