| This is not my picture |
Sunset at just the right angle. Frogs talking in the creek. Cool damp air. Spring is here. It's in the sun and water. The winter is fading and everything is coming to life. This should be the start of the year. When everything is renewed. Everything is fresh and alive. Fresh starts and new energy. Resently I ran into a little trouble with my book. I thought I was doing good. It had been edited twise and the main character has been acting as I hoped he would. But when I went through the third draft I started noticing that it wasn't feeling right. The story is too short. The scenes don't fit together like they should. Somethings missing. I'm not sure what it is yet, but every time I sit down to read it I get bored with it. Now I may not know much about editing, but it's not good when the author gets bored with their own book. I need to go back and read the origanal draft and find out what I lost. The first draft was ruff and I cringe when I read it but I still find it interesting. More interesting then the third draft. I need a new beginning. That renewed energy of spring. Maybe I just need a different angle. A fresh perspective. Just changing the angle of the sunset might shine a light on the missing peaces.
