I think I am finally making progress on Samantha. At first I was loving it, then not so much.
Sooo I reread what I had and thought about how I could go from liking something to not liking something so quickly. I realized that I went from delving into Samantha's life and giving a really clear picture of who she is to jumping to large chunks in time. The story felt rushed and my characters felt flat. Not good. I spent a large chunk of this week going back and rewriting. It always feels like it's a shame to toss something that you've worked hard on. But, rubbish is rubbish. After a week of reworking, my 28 pages has turned into 68...not too shabby. Hopefully, my writing streak continues and my readers enjoy Sam as much as I am...
