Revisiting the Past

After struggling with my WIP for two weeks, I made a decision.  In part thanks to the many helpful comments from readers, so thank you all again.

I decided I was too far removed from books 1 and 2 to be able write book 3.  It’s been two years since I read Wings, and even longer since I read Shadow.  I needed to dive back into what I had already established in the Threads world to move forward.

I started reading book 1 yesterday.  It’s harder than I thought it would be.

Being my first ever completed novel, I knew it wasn’t perfect.  But, I didn’t expect to feel quite so strange about it.  It’s bizarre to read my own words, as part of a novel that is now published and set in stone.  I can’t revise it, and my state of mind right now is not to glean and learn from my mistakes.  My focus is on where the story’s been, so I can figure out where to go next.

Page 10 so far, and hopefully will finish before the end of the week.  Wish me luck.

Cheers.
