The End and a new beginning

Finally finished the re-write of The Widow's Revenge.  Now feel at a loose end.  Must start the sequel.  Have started the prologue today.  Need to set a daily target now and try to keep to it.  Interesting that the Full Moon yesterday which often denotes the completion of a matter, fell in the fifth house of creativity in my natal chart.

Another Day, Another Read Through

Currently reading through my rewritten version of The Widow's Revenge.  I feel I know the story off by heart, every word of dialogue, every description of the evil Daffodil's attempts at revenge.  Will be so glad when I can finally put it back on Amazon and Smashwords and start on the sequel.  If it was set to music, I could stand on a stage and sing every word without looking - except I can't sing!

Another day, another final, final re-write!

Have I at last finished my re-write of The Widow's Revenge?  So why do I keep finding sentences I can improve?  One minute I am truly happy with what I have produced.  Then I do another, last, read through and think, oh no, that word needs to come out.  I'm satisfied that I have weeded out 10,000 words from the version on Amazon at the moment.  That despite the fact that I have improved and extended the final few chapters.  A tough learning curve.  Will it be any easier writing the sequel?  I somehow doubt it.  Do other writers suffer these agonies?  Trying to polish every sentence?  When to let go of your baby and send it off to make its own way in the world?  I think I am close.....
