My editor came back suggesting an almost total rewrite. Maybe the most disheartening thing is that I knew everything that was wrong with it. I wrote an awful first draft and literally cringed as I turned it in after pulling more than a few all-nighters to get it done. The problem was that I was very new to the writing game and although I had some early success, I was not as adept at the craft of writing as I needed to be to take on these two highly commercial, fast-paced projects simultaneously. I had a tight deadline for this project and was juggling another book project with an equally tight deadline at the same time. This was at the beginning of my career. The studio I was working with offered me the job because they were so impressed by my first published novel, GATED. A few years back I was hired to take an archived film script and turn it into a young adult novel for traditional publication.
