Piece it Together

Revisions feel like they take forever. Now I'm in the middle of my manuscript and I have been deleting most of what I spent a year writing. Now I have a pile of word scraps. Pieces of paragraphs that I am diligently trying to sew together. I will not know what it will look like until it's complete.

Though I have never quilted, but I would imagine you have a vision of what the scraps of cloth will look like once finished. You can't really see it until it rests on your bed.

Wish me luck.

Still at it!

Well...I'm at it again! My agent asked for the dreaded revisions, which I knew was coming. I agree with everything she wants me to change, don't get me wrong, but it isn't easy. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

My book is worth the work and my characters are worth the extra molding. Just look at this picture...a movie comes out this month--a movie that was first a book. A book that was nothing more than what my manuscript is now--a stack of words and a list of demands.
