I was on the second draft of my first book (like, two years ago) when something important happened (in the story) and I was like THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING. The central story was still the same but there were new characters and I realized I absolutely HAD to rework it. If you feel the third person would help it dramatically, I say go for it. You want to write the best story it can be, right? Go with your gut on this.<br /><br />As far as being discouraged, I normally reread my favorite book and revisit my love for words. Inspiration hits and I find my muse again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6026283233607227276.post-68671450239880381222015-02-05T02:02:59.638-08:002015-02-05T02:02:59.638-08:00Keep writing, listen to music, do scribbling, mind...Keep writing, listen to music, do scribbling, mind mapping and doodling on the area I am struggling with, not pat answers really.

Get that done, then choose the next aspect to work on. Do them one at a time. Then they don't feel quite so overwhelming... well, at least most of the time!

When the story's still such a mess that you're not quite sure how it will work out -- or even if it will -- but you're no long in that heady first-draft in-love stage. Best of luck to you! I bet it will be fantastic when you're done with it!!Caryn Caldwellhttp://www.caryncaldwell.comnoreply@blogger.com
