Being a writer - published or unpublished - can be lonely and isolating. Just remember, the writing community understands, & you aren't alone. We've all had similar ups & downs. Just keep going!

Changed a few things for my 2nd draft:
Tense from present to past
POV from 1st to 3rd person
Delete stuff, add stuff.
Now I don't like it, but I love some of it, so I have to go back to the original & put in only the stuff that works.

me: (typing) "She opens the door..." Wait, what kind of door? Painted or varnished? Glass or metal doorknob?

my character: Can I open the damn door please?
