80-20, writing or re-writing?

Salut,

OK, MAD decided to give another try to finishing the re-write of his novel and to also finish composing the music to go with it. Time to get my music partner involved and retry our weekly meeting to work on it (we used to invest our Tuesday nights to composing and recording music, this is how a few songs were born or older songs recorded properly, he's good, he's really good, not MAD, Norm of course). I just need to kick myself in the butt, to get that last 20% part of the work done, instead of, as usual, invest my time in the 80% work of a new project.

What motivates this move? Is it because of the comments I got from GG after she read the first incarnation recently? Is it because she kept me awake till the wee hours last night (her place always seems further from mine when I'm coming compare to when I was getting there, go figure :-)? Or is it because I got started again on writing by sharing my twisted thoughts with you on a regular basis? Or is it because another friend told me that I should be working on my novel "instead" of writing a blog (but, don't worry, I'm confident I can do both, it is kind of like going to the gym AND playing OK, both can be done and one can help get better in the other)? Or is because TD told me she would read it but only once it is published? Or is it because of my natural cycle of going from music, to writing, to photography, to film-making and then to music again, writing again, etc... etc... etc...

Whatever reason, I'm now sitting in the bus that is departing from the suburbs parking lot that was completely full this morning and even spilled over to the streets around it so I had to walk a few blocks under a small sparkling rain to get to the bus stop, and I will complete this post in a minute or two, and open the new version of my novel (which I already started rewriting a little while back) and get to work... And have fun doing it... :-)

BYE
MAD
P.S.: No time for links or images this morning, sorry, plain old blog text... Hope you enjoy it anyway...
