So hard!

Revising a novel is necessary. I know.
Knowing and doing something are different things.
I have started my revision, found out, that I let a person die -unconsciously- during writing the novel.
Now, I have to decide, whether the grandfather should be alive or not... I prefer life.
Many characters don´t have a name, I am not very creative in finding names this year.

Again the same problem--too many distracting things around.

How can I stay focused and go on with my revisions without being in the mood for wríting?
Well, force myself could be one way, but I have to take care of my energy this week- a challenging one.
Wait and drink some tea and see, what´ll happen?
Not a good idea, ´cause then I´d never go on with the writing.

Hmm....
Maybe revise some pages a day?
Stop blogging and start writing?
.......................found no answer but a photo.


It feels like heaven;)

Revisions are necessary

Revising is essential- have to keep that in mind! I have a little ( that´s understated;-)
revision-fight at the moment, but... it´s necessary!?! Who will win the fight?
My draft or I, who want to change some parts of it? I hope, I´ll be the winner some day in the future:-)

It´s so hard to delete words, sentences or whole passages, even though they aren´t important for the novel. I haven´t thought that it would be so difficult to erase sentences. I knew I´d have to rewrite some parts and it sounds a bit strange, but it´s so hard to let them go;-)
I´m so used to them , and writing them was so much work:-)
...BUT REVISING ( eliminating some parts) IS IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY!
O well.....but I have to think positive. I´ll do it!

Today I´ll have dinner in V. - in a tower 150m above ground, I received a voucher, wouldn´t do it otherwise..but it´s another experience...
