It's been four months since I finished the first draft of Powerless in Nanowrimo... and it's time to rip off the band-aid by reading through my draft for the first time!

I'm incredibly nervous - What if it's crap? What if it's so flawed I can't figure out how to fix it? What if my writing's an embarrassment - if this is a sign I'll never be a writer? Maybe I shouldn't read it after all...

QUESTIONS FOR THE COMMENTS:
Have you read a draft for the first time after a long break? What was your reaction - were you pleasantly surprised? Or did were you able to pinpoint how to make it better?
