Nowadays I know I'm normal, and other people are going through the same stuff, and have been told "well done." So I feel great. And I can't wait to get stuck into more writing, yay!Janine Ashblesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840188081214225153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-84960330864173862542009-02-26T13:40:00.000+00:002009-02-26T13:40:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Janine Ashblesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840188081214225153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-52261620003718073102009-02-26T13:17:00.000+00:002009-02-26T13:17:00.000+00:00You're funny!

I love the image above and the Janine caption below. :-)<BR/><BR/>Congratulations!<BR/><BR/>I don't think I've met one writer, thus far that doesn't have edit OCD. As insane as it seems, I think it's really, quite sane...do I dare say, "normal?" <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing! Now go do something fun to celebrate!Neve Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106539156218430155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-27826253802310282442009-02-26T12:47:00.000+00:002009-02-26T12:47:00.000+00:00I don't seem to remember that alternate title for ...I don't seem to remember that alternate title for the painting from my college art history class. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Having yet to seriously work on anything book-length (though I do have a couple of starts) - I don't know what it's like to go over an entire long manuscript - but seeing as how I suffer tremendously over revising, checking and double checking my stories - I don't imagine it will be fun.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations! I loved this - <I>not even for a drink or a wee.</I>Erobinticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03367086200542648795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-68477740714223514892009-02-26T12:11:00.000+00:002009-02-26T12:11:00.000+00:00Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Janine!I'm not ...Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Janine!<BR/><BR/>I'm not at the point where I'm dealing with galleys, just dealing with the books in my own space, but I can so relate to this.<BR/><BR/>It's funny you mention leaving a book for two years to age, Nikki. The book I'm working on now was finished in early '07. It was a raw idea I wrote "real time." I didn't have an outline, just started with an idea.<BR/><BR/>When I came back to it at the end of last year, I realized why I like working with an outline!<BR/><BR/>It's lots and lots of work, but I must confess, it's work of the very best sort.Craig Sorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101869420537661374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281925592595958318.post-12650644934132634742009-02-26T11:03:00.000+00:002009-02-26T11:03:00.000+00:00Yay!

I HATE rereading over and over. <BR/>In an ideal world, I'd leave the ms for about a year before I reread it, and then make corrections. In fact, maybe two years.Nikki Magennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07085757122187578766noreply@blogger.com
