Resurrecting old writing

After dabbling in other writing projects I've decided to revisit my first major writing attempt--Takani. I wrote this "novel" while I was in high school. Although the plot is novice, and the love part of the story is sappy, it shouldn't be impossible to resuscitate because the writing is alarmingly good quality for a high school student. In fact, it scares me that, at times, the 18-year old me writes better than the 23-year old me who took writing classes in college.

So far, my college degree has not helped me get a job in my area of study, but I plan on using everything I learned to help me write a good book. After four years of studying what makes a good novel, perhaps, I will be able to write one.
