Changed the POV and age of my MC and suddenly a 5 yr work is writing itself!

I cannot put into words the joy I feel picking this project up again! 5 YEARS stuck on rewriting and editing the same 5,000 words over and over. Changed my character from a high school senior to a late (late) college student and from a dragging 1st person to a 3rd person limited and now we're hauling ass!

Here's to writing without guardrails! No more aging down the language. No more softening her sarcastic humor. And (this one is for me) NO MORE DISCOMFORT ESCALATING MY ROMANCE!!!!

Someone please invent a time machine and go back and slap me for ever setting foot into YA territory. That shit felt weird.
