Rewriting is great, but only if you take it so far. Constantly rewriting something can hurt it. But I do think you're hard work has paid off, and that you're getting better as a writer. :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207356626683365538.post-23353236927949003662016-05-17T15:23:22.556-04:002016-05-17T15:23:22.556-04:00Thanks for the links!

I think three revisions are usually enough for content.

I've had similar experiences. My group said the 6K I busted out in a few days was their favorite so far. <br /><br />We should swap! I'd love to read your chapter, even if it is out of context.

When I wrote the last chapter of my first novel I spent at least a month on that one chapter. My beta-reader told me it let down the whole novel. It was too strained. Naturally, I was disappointed in myself. I sat down immediately and re-wrote it from scratch in about an hour. Beta-reader called me up just before midnight and said - 'Where did this come from? - it's brilliant'. We'll see if my editor thinks so when I get the script back :) Too much thinking isn't good. So pleased your writing group enjoyed your chapter.
