I don't really want to, but I think I just need to take a break from BE for a while. I have so much going on, I don't want to deal with revisions. I used to say that I couldn't wait until the book was done because editing is so easy. I was wrong. I can't stand going back to work that I loved and realizing it's horrible and mediocre writing. Whatever crap I go through actually writing the book is fine because It's just pure creativity. There's nothing stopping me except for myself. Even though it take longer, when you think about it, it's a lot less work. It doesn't feel like work. Editing is work. So is writing a query letter.
So BE is going on the shelf for a while until I come to terms with the fact that yes, it is work, and agree to do it.
I'm starting a new project that isn't named yet, but I'm really excited about it. I'll write a teaser and post it later I guess.
Night all! Ironically enough, I have to get back to work that's due tomorrow...

I totally agree - editing is hARD. I am learning this the icky way atm with my revisions of SUNDOWN. ironic that i thought I was almost there when I sent off for my proof copy. :D I was so FAR from anywhere near there. lol
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be SO easy - such a rookie mistake. It's not all grammar it's just reading over every line and cutting it out. Since my book is already really short, I'm afraid I'll cut like half of it and end up just having to rewrite the whole thing. blah.
ReplyDeleteOne row at a time. That's the way it goes.
