Well I’m in rewriting hell.  Though it isn’t really hell.  I’ve noticed lately a few of my writer friends are attempting it too.  Must be the season for it.  Perhaps my fellow writers are in the same place as me.  Have learnt a lot since writing their first drafts.  This is encouraging.  It is nice to know I am not alone in thinking... wow this first draft is really crappy and needs work. 

Motivation is going to be the tough thing.  How do others stay motivated rewriting?  I know I will probably finish it but it could take a while.  One of my WIP’s will call out to me and I will return to that.  This happens when I’m not rewriting thus why I have four WIPs.  Am I alone here too?  Probably not.  The muse strikes us all in different ways but I have no doubt that other writers have a certain plot, character or other such thing calling to them to work on them.

So perhaps we should band together.  All of us doing the rewrite should get a buddy or two and when motivation flags... then we call on our buddy for support.  If you are rewriting and like me think you may need a kick up the rear occasionally then let me know and I would be grateful for a buddy.
