Revision Hell

Jeez, now I know why this current WIP didn't final in its first contest. As much as I love the story, the beginning is a drag! There's no chemistry between the hero and heroine. AND I'm stuck. I've spent the better part of the day working on revisions and I don't feel like I've gotten much done. I'm seriously considering trashing a good chunk of my first chapter. It feels like I haven't started the story in the right place even though I love parts of the beginning. Then I think maybe I should just send it to my CP as is and get her feedback. Maybe that's it. It's like the beginning isn't worthy of the ending I have. Oh hell. Round and round I go...

I've read other authors talking about starting the story in the wrong place. Yes, send it to your CP and get some feedback.

Well, I don't know, Bailey. Today I feel better about the beginning. I tweaked a bit yesterday and I think that's just what it needed. I think I was going through a hormonal brain fart.
