Not that I've READ the story/novella/whatev in question (though I do know it exists)....

But I personally hate doing rewrites. At least when they mean, 'okay now I'm going to leave all this intact and just do these next three scenes over again... and then I'll have to change that thing three chapters ahead for continuity....'. HatehateHATE.

My advice is just start over. Take all your characters and all your background and any of the little scene-bits you still like to braid back into it... and then start again from 'once upon a time'. Makes it feel less like painful death. :D

I have an original bunny breathing quietly somewhere in the back of my head. I'm carefully ignoring it so that it grows into something tangible.
