Do you ever read a book and suddenly think, "Wow! This is redundant?"
That's kind of how I'm feeling right now. I used several flashbacks to give the reader insight in to Jay and Abby's relationship early on in the first chapter, but then it became necessary to clue in Abby's best friend Caleb on her history with Jay. Sure, I could've just said she explained it to him, but that's counter productive to my goal of 50,000 words. I think I know where I'm going to start editing should I have finish this crap.
I'm starting to lose faith... wishing I would've rewritten another project.
" So here I am, married to him, still pinning for Jay and no real idea what the fuck I'm doing with my life any more. " Abby sighed, tears threatening to spill down her rosie cheeks.
" Hey now, none of that, " Caleb reached up, wiping her eyes gently, " We'll figure something out, eh? You're amazing, Abby. "
She smiled at him, laying her head on his shoulder, " Thanks, Caleb. I don't know what I'd do without you. "
" Or I you, beautiful. Or I you. "
