Trying to rewrite my book. I've got a lot of work to do on the beginning, and I feel like I can do it, but it still hurts a little to see the old writing go. Not because it was good--it was too shallow and didn't get deep enough into scenes and the characters came out kind of cartoonie, but it was also sweet. Dull but endearing. Dull because I think the writing didn't go deep enough into pov to keep the reader engaged, but also sweeter than I can get it when I go deeper into pov because of the angst I find out the characters have. Rather than being happy one dimensional carefree women, suddenly their uncle is missing, and they rely on each other to get by and the world sort of looms big and anonymous around them.
