So I Deleted Zero Hour... · 5:53am Oct 22nd, 2016
Why? Because I want to start fresh(ish). I'm practically done with my fifth chapter and the rewrite of chapter four, but my co-writer has yet to finish his first. When he does, I have to expect I'll want to make some changes. And that he'll share that sentiment.
Many of the changes I made during my rewrites were brought on by new ideas and opportunities concerning my co-writer's side of things. Not to throw him under the bus; the majority of the changes were my own. But the fact remains that I am sick and tired of these continuous rewrites and I see many more on the horizon if I continue in this direction.
When we started this story it was just an experiment. I let passion guide me, knowing my mistakes would be strong and wrong. Each a glaring and spectacular learning experience for us. And at this point, I might as well have a Bachelor's in fuckin' up. But the experiment is over, and the data is in.
I-- We are prepared to create what we set out to all along: a great story.
A friend once told me, "Confidence comes after success." I plan to return to my hammy, swaggering self soon. When we have ten, solid chapters to release on a regular schedule.
