Often when they reread it right after writing it, they read it as if it's correct and don't see the mistakes. Rewriting for me is hard because I want to keep everything, but then my draft ends up being dozens of pages too long.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-64666716595937754612021-06-07T15:29:34.518-04:002021-06-07T15:29:34.518-04:00I like rewriting because it generally leads me to ...I like rewriting because it generally leads me to making my story better.

I wonder if earlier it said what they ordered. Were they looking forward to this meal? Or are they just eating out because they aren't home, food just to reach that 1500 calorie a day goal? I guess I want to know because it's a lot sadder if the meal is something you were really looking forward to, and now you're just eating to live and not really enjoying the flavor experience.
