I think it's a defense mechanism...<br /><br />Seriously, though,I edit at least a dozen times before things really set well. <br /><br />I'm glad your rewrite is exciting right now. It makes it hard to tackle when it seems a chore instead of an adventure.<br /><br />Best luck~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905472024920772698.post-7476679338403876932010-02-19T09:21:12.524-08:002010-02-19T09:21:12.524-08:00Ahhh, re-writing.

My other issue is I devote zero time to, what WAS my WIP. So, those characters are waiting patiently and I'm hoping to get things moving at a faster pace with Lane & Finn. We'll see.Lisa_Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17238496789960349077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905472024920772698.post-954081046646678792010-02-18T17:26:15.357-08:002010-02-18T17:26:15.357-08:00I am writing my second MS, but the first is still ...I am writing my second MS, but the first is still in rewrites. I wonder if it will ever really be done? <br />I'm a lot more careful writing the new MS, trying to avoid as much editing this time around! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905472024920772698.post-186031965160686042010-02-18T17:13:56.564-08:002010-02-18T17:13:56.564-08:00I'm not sure I'll ever get to the point wh...I'm not sure I'll ever get to the point where I think it's ready!<br /><br />I did a bazillion rewrites on the ms I've got marinating. I wrote it without a thought towards attempting publication, so it was way over-written.<br /><br />I'm on my 3rd draft right now with my current ms. Much closer than I was on the last one after 10!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.com
