Will Send Edits Today

Talk about dedicated to your craft. I spent the entire week going over and applying most of those edits, and I only wanted to spend Friday or at the most, Saturday revising those two paragraphs on page three which is the first page of chapter one.

But I condensed two paragraphs into one, and every time I thought I was done, it turned out I wasn't. I kept being dissatisfied when I came back to it. You see, I learned a long time ago not to be quick on the trigger. That would mean the "send" button. And every time I thought I had nailed that paragraph, I decided to take an hour off, watch a movie, or go eat lunch, and come back to it. But that's when I didn't like it. So I must have written that paragraph a hundred times and a hundred different ways this weekend.

So here it is late Sunday night, and I think I nailed it again. But I won't sent it to Sherry, my editor, yet. I'll wait until I read it tomorrow morning. If it still sounds good, then I'll send it. Man, and I thought I'd be done Friday night. That's Okay. Monday morning will do. I hope. Fingers crossed.
