I told you the other day how I lost (or wrote over) a chapter of my book in progress The Sorceress and her Lovers.  I felt like I had to rewrite that piece before I could go on to anything else, so I sat down and over the past three days, I’ve finished it.

The problem is, it’s not as good as it was.  I don’t have the original with which to compare, but I remember it as being better.  The new version is longer and has more characters.  It did what I wanted the scene to do.  But I just can’t help feeling it was much better before.

Well, I’m not going to work on it more now.  It’s set aside at least until I finish the His Robot Wife: Patience is a Virtue, and possibly until 82: Eridani– Voyage is done.  By then I’ll have enough perspective hopefully to rewrite it and make it as good as the original.
