The best thing about revising after some time has passed is how fresh a story seems. I love this book, but with the distance, the plot and characterization issues are easy to see. I know I made the first three chapters better than ever today. The family wasn’t so pleased with me, but they’ll get over it.

I skipped The Amazing Race to work on revisions. That freaked the family out more than anything else, I think. But I’ve got to look at Shelley Bradley’s advice. She asked how bad do I want it and was it worth the sacrifice. It’s definitely worth giving up TAR. Besides, this was a lot more fun than watching TV.
