Now that I've done this a few times, I know when I'm facing "OMG I'm never going to see daylight" type edits or, this will take some work, but it's manageable.

And congrats on the exciting editorial notes from your agent. It must feel great when an agent just clicks with your story like that. :) Have a great writing week!Kaitlin Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396607556882297132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-46964132372245872082015-07-14T08:37:06.597-05:002015-07-14T08:37:06.597-05:00Life shifts, we shift--changing goals is necessary...Life shifts, we shift--changing goals is necessary sometimes. And so is taking it easy even if we don't want to. I can't write when I'm sick. The brain just doesn't work, and there's no use arguing with it. Still, you got a lot done.

(But then we'd probably turn to dictation, or finding some poor sucker to type for us...) It is hard to step away, but when you're sick, you're sick, and things are always better after the rest. You still managed to accomplish a lot even with being under the weather! Well, I hope you feel all better now and ready to kick those edits' ass :) I'm sure you will!Rebecca Barrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007014501516438149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271157837542030455.post-57738971069393050672015-07-13T20:31:19.399-05:002015-07-13T20:31:19.399-05:00Switching gears can be SO HARD, but it still looks...Switching gears can be SO HARD, but it still looks like you achieved a lot.

And still managed to draft some new words. Awesome! I can't imagine how great it would be to have fresh perspective on something you've been working on for a while. I don't know about you, but it all kind of becomes blurred, and I just can't see my WiP clearly after working on it for so long. I suppose that's where CPs and betas are also handy. Sounds like you have a busy week ahead of you. Good luck with all of your goals, Stephanie! :-)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.com
