Letting go...

Its so hard to let go of something you wrote and loved a while back, even though you know now that it doesn't hold up.  I am learning - the hard way - that when I am struggling to "re-write" something I crafted a long time ago, the best course of action is the just to start over.  The idea is still in my head, but now I can write it utilizing everything I have learned since. Still hard to let go, but I know it will be better if I do.
