Go erika! Finishing the second draft and not hating it thoroughly sounds pretty awesome to me.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

There are bits that I might hate later, but mostly not. It's just that, for the time I spent, I wish it were spectacular(but it might get there, still, right?) Yeah, I'm pleased.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Finishing the second draft is huge, erika!

Because books.
It is huge, erika! And you may feel differently about it after you let it rest for a while. Work on something else for a bit or read something of a completely different genre, and give your brain a break.
I was out to dinner with fellow local writers tonight, and I can't even say how good it was for me. Whenever I'm with other writers, it always recharges me. I need to do it more.
To sum up: Writers groups for everyone! They're a good thing!

Go Erika! That is huge. And Amy is wise.

Yeah, hate was a bit strong, but you know what it's like when you only see the flaws or that you don't have a nifty case file to draw from like Michael Connelly. To use a completely fictional example that my friend told me about. Besides you people, haven't had a good group since college, though I tried a few times. Mine had too many old guys who hadn't read anything new since the Godfather came out.

GUH.
I'm looking at this as an opportunity to roadtrip and see lots of buffistas - is that bad?
