Write

Recently the necessity of writing was impressed upon me. I'm at a point where I've restated my book AGAIN. This is like, the fifth time I've done this. It's unavoidable in my mind though. I write and get ideas straight, but then my old ideas remain crooked. That's when I restart.

The other thing I hear and read about authors all the time is that writing from beginning to finish is the goal before going back and doing all the revision and rewriting. I just feel like I'd rather invest in the best ideas and characters rather than continuing to develop the poor ones.

In fact, my most recent restart rolls multiple characters into one, portrays the characters much better than before now, and has changed a lot of the old storyline. I think that sometimes rolling a whole bunch of characters and their actions into the same character makes for a much richer, more multi- dimensional individual. That's what I did and that's why I did it.
