I always have to go through that part too before I see the full wisdom of what has to be done. Still, ALL things are fixable. Repeat this over and over. It is my mantra. Love the pix. LOL.

I had to rewrite HARPER'S WISH about four times before my editor said I'd nailed it. Four times, rewriting everything from chapter 3 on. It's not always fun. But it does pay off, and I know your story will, too.
