Now comes the hard part.

I keep wishing that I'll find a way to convince myself that I like rewriting.  Some trick that will make it easier.

I think, in the end, I just have to sit down and do it.  It's sort of like trying to make housecleaning enjoyable -- it has to be done, but in the end, it's just drudgery. 

At least for me.  Good for those fortunate people who like doing it.

I know that it needs to be done -- that it is not only beneficial, but necessary in most cases.  Occasionally the words flow and just need a few tweaks here and there.  Most other times, the plot comes out awkward, words repeat, passive language creeps in, things get left out or are just plain wrong.

I think I just have to gird my loins and do it.

Dammit.
