<whine> Rewriting is haaaaarrrd! </end whine>
For me, rewriting is the hardest part of the writing process. This is why I have so many first drafts and very few finished products! When I’m writing, I’m not judging or worrying about being published, especially when I’m doing the NaNoWriMo challenge. It’s all about creating and letting my imagination loose. Rewriting, on the other hand, is about looking over what I’ve created and trying to make it publishable. I am finding a lot of resistance to the process, I think my subconscious thinks that if I never finish, I will never be rejected. I’m fighting low self esteem, fear of failure, despair, frustration and self-sabotage. No wonder I keep finding myself procrastinating and distracted during my writing time!
