Writer's Group Last Night.
They liked my ookey melodramatic backstory, and they think it should go back into the book.

Though I'll have to re-write it in the first person to match the rest of the material. Or, I can re-cast the other parts in third, though semi-hard-boiled American mysteries are usually in first.

The leader of the group said something last night about problems that "should be fixed in second draft." I was aghast at the idea that there would be a second draft. I kind of imagined that if I just finished the first draft, I could knock off, eat blueberry muffins, and wait for fame and fortune.
Apparently, that's not how it works.

Good stories are not written, they are rewritten. The first try always looks awful, sometimes even the second. The sculptor carves a piece of rock because he knows that there is a statue in there somewhere. The same with a writer, there is a good story in there somewhere. So you have to refine it like a piece of metal.
