Rip Apart

I hate this process. I have a logical brian A-B in the fastest way taking as quickly as possible to acheve the goal, with as few a steps as possible to do it right but corrrectly and now I need to learn flowery or A-B meandering through c,d,e,f,g,h,and so on ... not easy for someone who doesnt think that way

I really dont want to rip anything apart not least fat bums but people cant be wrong. I do tell more than I show. Learning to show is a pain in the arse but comes so easy to people when they have been shown exactly where to change it ... not so easy when you really dont get what they are on about ..... steep learning curve

But one with grave consiquences because now 2 books I wrote yrs ago are shelved indefinately because of this tell V show. I cant face pulling them apart. They are as real as it gets. real people, real situations, real emotion, real nightmares and real anniversaries of devastating incidents to deal with. I cant deal with that just now so they are shelved... maybe 1 day they will come back out to play  but rewriting 200,000words+ is not going to be easy and I dont have time nor the inclination to start.

So fat bums it is ... I will try and fix this and then see what else can be achieved ... right now am too mad and fed up to do much ...

Decision made

We need more action, we need more going wrong... its where to put and when. I have ideas and I intend to put them into practice.

Some feedback I got from an unusual source has helped ...

I was told recently its not strong enough, etc and I didnt understand but now I do. I see the weakness's and its nearly time to make it better.... then self publish it and try and get it out there and get the feedback from the buying public. 

Maybe thats the way to go .....

I dont think i can do it before september but if I aim for that then it gives me a mini deadline and I thrive on deadlines .....

Decisions Decisions

Its the time when i start to question whether to rip this apart and add more in... really make their days jam packed to the rafters or leave it as it is.

Ive left it along for about a month but I can still see the story in my minds eye and its driving me nuts cos I cant spot the gaps

I wish i could just write it and that was it ... no editing

Has to be said i think im the only person to read it all the way through

mmm that tells me something ......  not as fast and good as I thought then
