So, when last our heroes met, we discussed the necessity of rewriting things, for clarity and for making sure the story gets put into the mind of the reader.
Well, my story up and took a turn on me, and it came to me in big bright visions (all right, that's malarkey).
I've recently restarted my story, remembering that the important parts are getting across the story, and not getting hung up on reusing all the bits that you have made over the numerous rewrites in order to bolster word count. I am reusing some, but being pretty sparse about it.
I cannot stress enough the importance of voice and perspective, because without those, the story will never come. It will feel stifled, and flat, and there will be nothing to it, despite the grand visions of the dreamer. It has taken me months to find my voice, and even now, I am not sure if it will stick, but I won't stop.
There are dreams to give life to as stories.
