False Starts

Today I deleted my 2nd start at Flutterby Girl. This happens every time I start writing a new book. I don't keep going till after 3 tries. Cuz third time's a charm? I don't know, it's annoying. I'm annoying. I get about 5000 words and 4 chapters in and then I quit because I hate the direction it starts to take. At least I get to know my characters better. I stick with the same names. Not always the same personalities though. By the 3rd try I usually know which personality is most interesting....
