Emily, your post is exactly what I need to read every day as I go through the mountain of written scenes of my “ discovery “ draft that I’ve worked on since October 2020. Now I’m pulling fragments from the discarded pile and stitching them together. In other words, I’m starting from scratch.
But I’m loving the process. It helps to be an optimist in this line of work. 😊 your Wednesday night WIP workshop is one gift I treasure on my literary journey. Let’s both keep going together. When your novel is published ( and I know it will be) you’ll be able to teach a killer class on revision. See you next week.
Emily, Such a good reminder that this whole damn thing is not just any process but an annoying and exhilarating learning process. One where time is slippery and mistakes and small victories happen in real time. Does a writing punch list ever get completed? Musings for your next missive. xo

I’m so glad this resonated, Rosemary. Let’s both keep going, for sure!

Annoying and exhilarating—yes! So glad we’re on this journey together.
So glad you’re loving Scriptnotes! It really is the best. They just put out a book too.
It really was the best recommendation ever. I'm such a fan.
