Definitions of:
from scratch: start from the beginning with the basic ingredients
to start over: to begin to do something again, sometimes in a different way
go back to the drawing board: have to start planning a piece of work again because the previous plan failed
[writer gnashing her teeth] Are these my next steps?
Umm… maybe?
Will the decision result in a better book? I’m absolutely convinced.
Will the decision result in a blow to my ultra-sensitive, fragile ego? I’m absolutely convinced.
Therefore, still pondering 🙂
