Melanie's Mostly Writing

I was rereading the first draft of the main novel I’m working on and I don’t know whether to edit what I’ve written, trash it and start again, or keep going until I finish something. I’ve gotten myself so confused. Sometimes I read it and enjoy it but sometimes I think it is rubbish when I go back to it. Sometimes I feel there’s no point in writing. I’m feeling pretty despondent. I’m slogging through the final few chapters of Wuthering Heights too. I preferred the first half of the book. I think some of these things depend on my mood.

I’m feeling so down about my writing. I’m going to put it out of my mind for a day or two and focus on other things. I’ll return to it, hopefully, in a better frame of mind. My vacation is over and I’m back into teaching again. I think a few hours on the bass guitar or doing some cross stitch will make me feel more relaxed and perhaps in more of a confident place once more.
