Hi all, I usually post over in the Non-Fiction forum, but while I'm waiting to hear back about my queries, I've had an unquenchable desire to go back to my Young Adult novel that I started writing quite some time ago.
One of the reasons I stopped writing this novel is that it started going off in a bad direction. I think the first several chapters are great and occassionally show them to people, but the work I did after that is subpar.
So, I'm going to finally do it. I'm going to just throw out those last few crappy chapters and go on from there. It feels so weird to throw out a couple chapters and go backwards and start from there. But sometimes it needs to be done.
Anyone every had to throw out a good chunk and try over? I think it's really tough to do!
