Ever sit down to write an idea you’ve had for a really long time and then halfway through it realize that it’s from a perspective that you never intended and then while you’re halfway through deleting it and fixing it however way you thought to should be realize that the first way was the right way because of a flaw you figured out a long time ago?
Just me? Darn.
That’s exactly what happened to me not long ago today. I’m sitting writing more of the uncharted territory and kind of getting into it when I think to myself, “this part isn’t supposed to happen here. These characters need to be in the other person’s house. Then I fix it and start writing from another person’s perspective and then realize there is a huge gaping flaw if I write it from that person’s house. So I have to move everyone back to the original location 700 miles away.
Facepalm.
Has anyone out there ever found themselves in that type of situation where you think you messed up fixed it mostly and then realized the other way was much better and how you really intended it?
