Old Memories

I can't believe what I used to write. I'm almost embarassed to read it now, but it's quite entertaining. Chapters 14, 15 and 16 are going to have a lot of elements version one had, but man am I glad I'm revamping it. It's bad. So bad. I've come a long way in six years. My writing isn't great yet, but it has improved so much. I say that time and time again, but what I used to write was so...innocent. The characters had personality, but they were all so cheerful and one-dimensional all the time. Hardly any seriousness to it. I'd like to think I kept some of that silliness in my current writing, but I have to admit that I don't lament leaving most of it behind. The story has also developed a great deal since then.

I know, that despite these improvements, I'm still extremely naive in my writing. A lot of instances follow the logic that makes sense to me, but not necessarily everyone else. What I'll need in the near future is a really good editor to tell me when I'm completely out of my mind. This will be often, but I think I can handle it. There's no way I'd give up on something I've poured over six years into.
