I did it! I edited my book for 10 minutes – a little over actually. It is hard to stop once you start and I probably would have kept going if I didn’t need to put together a plan for tomorrow, since we are unexpectedly hosting a small group. I partially re-wrote this very awkward scene, and I am not sure I am happy with it yet. . . . but I think it is at least better. I partly want to delete it – but I feel like sometimes the awkward argument that shouldn’t be an argument is important for establishing characters and relationships with each other. They also have a way of making characters of different statuses more even as they figure out the other person isn’t perfect. I’m still not sure how important the scene is, but I’ll leave it in for now and hopefully find a way to make it flow more smoothly.
