#rewriting

Once I get over maybe a hundred pages, I won't go back to page one, but I might go back to page fifty-five, or twenty, even. But then every once in a while I feel the need to go to page one again and start rewriting. ↗

I try not to worry about rewriting books that worked well the first time. I'm too busy writing new books to worry about things that are already in print. ↗
