What i...I feel your pain on rereading old writing.<br /><br />What inevitably happens when I clear out old boxes or notebooks is I get distracted reading something I've written before. It quite often starts off well and I get really into what I'm reading, thinking 'this isn't too bad' and then something happens which totally pulls me out of it and I can't help but cringe.<br /><br />Then I want to get out a fresh notebook and start rewriting it, rather than finishing whatever tidying I'd started before I found the old story. ;-)Clickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478761820331036869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-61906506791495192682014-06-14T00:00:30.221-04:002014-06-14T00:00:30.221-04:00I feel ya'.

And it makes me wonder if what I'm writing right now will look this bad in another five years. <br /><br />Erin @ <a href="http://raisedreading.wordpress.com”>Raised Reading</a> Erin Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355934035854112120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-33962072988860046592014-06-03T10:12:32.775-04:002014-06-03T10:12:32.775-04:00Congrats on the full request!

Oddly enough, that manuscript is actually a rewrite of the first novel I wrote, with some pretty major changes! I like to reuse ideas if they aren't working in one book.ELAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11390894357209056149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-90703087084666544522014-06-03T09:49:18.356-04:002014-06-03T09:49:18.356-04:00good luck on waiting.

Then you have another iron in the fire too.<br /><br />I like going back and re-reading my old stuff. It's interesting to see how I've evolved over time. :)J.H.
