I was just looking at chapter, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Then contemplating the two more rewrites. Then knowing my book is honest, intense and dark and I will be so exposed if it's ever published. Even though it's fiction, it's a world I created. I was having a moment. And then I saw this. If I want to write a really good book, that tells the truth, has an interesting heroine, which includes a good story, set in the time of my teens. I will just have to work this hard. That's it. I just have to do it. Even if it takes months, and lots of work.
It just takes that much work…
