This is exactly where I am too, but you say it better than I could. My take is: I am spectacularly good writing shitty first drafts. But I’ve improved enough to recognize what needs fixing.
Wonderful! As a novelist you can never hear the reminder to be specific and vulnerable often enough. And congratulations on the publication of your debut novel!

Haha, same here! I'm ready to buckle down with this mess I've made.

Thanks so much!
Happy New Year! Love how you articulated this feeling/this part of the process. I can relate! And think a lot of other writers can too.
Happy New Year, Sarah! And thank you :) Wishing you a smooth transition to 2024.
Happy New Year to you too!
Thank you!
