I’m doing a really tough rewrite before I finish my manuscript. I realized I didn’t like my heroine’s magic skills. And I decided making her a woman with herbal knowledge and healing skill fir my story better.
The problem? I’ve got over thirty thousand words written. And a romance means she is in most of the scenes.
Otherwise I like her. She is spunky, smart and strong. of course she is pretty, too.
So I’m going back to the first scene and changing it. then all the rest.
Advice? some of my friends recommend I finish the story as if I’d done the rewrites, but my mind doesn’t work like that . Sigh. I need to get it done.
This work is the next in my Rhodes End Series.

Police Officer 'Mel' Petersen is the only one who believes a suspicious death is murder. By disobeying direct orders from the Rhodes End Chief, she risks her career to follow clues that twist in circles to her backyard and lead the killer to her. Her neighbor Stephan Zoriak is a prime suspect. While working for a major pharmaceutical company, he is exposed to a dangerous organism that changed him. He suspects he is the killer and agrees to help Mel find the truth when the deaths continue. In the course of their investigation Mel and Steve find more death and continued distrust that make them wonder if love can defy death.

Rewrites are never easy. Same with rewriting an older manuscript. I do understand why you can't just go ahead without fixing the beginning. That's how I think, too. Good luck!
Good luck! Rewrites can be so frustrating.
