Begun reading through my first draft

After taking two weeks off, hoping to gain a more objective view point, I've started reading through my first draft today. As of now, I'm halfway through, and I can honestly say that it's quite awful. The plot is all over the place, and I feel that the characters aren't developed nearly enough. The descriptions are especially bad, mostly do to the repetition of certain worlds (especially 'seemingly'), with it being one of the areas I struggle most in.

Also, it's quite boring in a lot of places. It takes place at a school (thankfully, it's just this book that does), but I hope it doesn't end up being as boring as school.

However, among all the tedium and plot points that I've since dropped, there are some moments I'm pleased with. Through writing this first draft, I've come up with a lot of ideas for characters, plot points, and future books; ideas which I never would've come up with had I not put words to paper. I like some of the dialogue I've written, especially in the later chapters.

Essentially, I hope that I can extract the best parts of my first draft, and filter out all the things that don't work. I intend to read through the rest of it tonight, after which I'll be going over my characters, and trying to establish them further.
