Moving Forward
Are you done, yet? Are you there, yet? How much farther Papa Smurf?
Smurf off! (Okay, so maybe he didn't say that but it would've been funny.)
BTW: "Only turkeys are done" as my 4th grade teacher would say. People are "finished" something.
In my case, these revisions are killing me! Maybe because I've had so many people reviewing them and getting excellent comments back, but that means I need to do all said comments (at least the ones that are essential), so ack! I'm stuck on this one chapter on page 68 of 288 pages. Equivalent to a mental back-up on the same scale as Northern VA traffic, where I'm idling at the Lorton exit and I need to be downtown in 20 minutes (those of you from DC know exactly what that means). Ugh!
Maybe part of this mental traffic jam is that I reviewed some of my earlier chapters and found all these things that need to be fixed. I think my later chapters are now stronger. Yes, I should look at this as, "I've gotten better." But I sent those chapters off to an agent, because I needed to get something accomplished this month and after all the edits from CPs and my revisions, I thought it was there.
I'm not there, yet. And it's a hell of a lot farther. And my brain is about to overheat from all this stop and go. And there's some smartasses zipping up the shoulder to pass everyone.
Enough with the blog. I'm going to smurf to work.
