The 4 stages of editing your own novel:
1. Denial – “It’s fine. It’s all fine.”
2. Dread – “Why did I write this?”
3. Delusion – “Maybe if I growl at the screen, it’ll fix itself.”
4. Defeat – “Cut it all. Or don’t. I don’t care anymore.”

🟢 Delete 3 sentences.
🔴 Add 5 sentences.
🟢 Delete everything.
🔴 Panic.

Anyone feeling the same? 😭
