I started with the darlings and just kept going.
Left: Original Right: Revised
What you're looking at is the first chapter of "Monsters in California," which I am currently in the process of destroying--I mean revising!
It's cathartic, taking something you spent years working on and then just tearing it apart. Hopefully, when the dust settles and the editing is finished; I'll have a lean, mean supernatural horror novel.
...Or maybe I'll end up deleting everything that made the book worth reading and it'll be horrible. Time will tell!
Oooh. Send me what you got when you're done chopping up chapters.
