It's a ton of notes, and I'd be overwhelmed, too, but just think how much easier fixing those will be compared to generating brand new stuff. That's what I tell myself to make myself feel better ;)Liz Blockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160510626027597666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-51762571633332367392014-06-25T20:33:50.487-04:002014-06-25T20:33:50.487-04:00It may be a lot but it's better that you find ...It may be a lot but it's better that you find them than your readers! I'm excited to see what MALICE will be! Good luck on it. <br /><br />I'm in the middle of my revisions too. I don't know how many notes I have. I'm only about a third of the way through it and I might have more than you! I'll just keep slogging away. :)kjmckendryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534751311630921447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-54709498964897232832014-06-25T13:56:18.532-04:002014-06-25T13:56:18.532-04:00It's better that you find and fix them than an...It's better that you find and fix them than an editor finding them and thinking it's too much work for them.

I LOVE revising and editing. It's writing the first draft that kills me.<br /><br />Speaking of that ... I haven't written anything in over a week. I think I can be excused, what with wrapping up a 25 year career in teaching after all. It's been emotionally and physically draining. And I might not be up to facing my WIP tomorrow -- my first free day -- or Thursday -- the day of my cover reveal -- but by Friday FER SURE, I'm going to sit down and add some words.<br /><br />Probably bad ones, but like I said, I love to revise.Dianne K.

I thought that was fascinating.<br /><br />As for me, I haven't touched my novel in a while. My life went and got stressful, and I can't focus on writing right now. Hopefully soon.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-3670073490113068642014-06-24T11:24:44.847-04:002014-06-24T11:24:44.847-04:00Those side notes are crucial!

Just don't misplace those side notes.<br />On my current manuscript, I went back and added a lot of scenes and adjusted the wording in the first few passes.
