I wrote all of Part 2 of the father, then re-wrote it, then threw it all out and started from scratch. The third iteration is looking much better. I am just frustrated that I had to throw away the drafts that I worked so hard on. More than ever this quote applies.

I turn sentences around. That’s my life. I write a sentence and then I turn it around. Then I look at it and I turn it around again. Then I have lunch. Then I come back in and write another sentence. Then I have tea and turn the new sentence around. Then I read the two sentences over and turn them both around. Then I lie down on my sofa and think. Then I get up and throw them out and start from the beginning.
