@ChaChaRex I feel ya... my first ever draft of Ice was so messy, filled with adverbs and frankly, shit (still kinda is). That's what makes the journey of writing so nice though. You get to look back at where you were compared to where you are now, and see how much you've improved. I know it makes me proud to see how far I've come.
Man, that flu you said that hit New Zealand also hit my cousins and, right now, my mom. She's getting better but I'm surprised how much the flu confined her to the couch with a blanket and medicine right beside.
Anyway, best of luck to your rewrite!
