Hey, the first step to getting better is admitting the proble, right?Lindsay N.

LOL As far as Inside Out, I know for a fact it'll be stellar. Writing my first MS, I pumped it out in about four months. Then revisions took me another year! My latest is taking me longer to pump out, but I'm hoping revisions will be a lot smoother. So here's to drinkin' wine, editing and great beta partners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991416410311733321.post-59196806082827149912011-01-17T17:13:45.883-08:002011-01-17T17:13:45.883-08:00I just decided my MS needs a major rewrite.

(I know, I'm weird...) <br /><br />I plan to give myself a month and a half to do edits, but I may need to bump up my timeline depending on how things are going. Plus, I'm such a tinkerer! I have a propensity for tweaking and tweaking my books until it drives me batty.

I really need to move along but I keep laboring over the first five chapters. I go back all the time. I wonder if I'll ever be totally happy with it. I'm glad you posted this because this has given me the push to just move on and I'll let a beta reader tell me whats wrong. I think we get to a point where we're just blind after spending too much time on our story. At least that's how I feel right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08798243128846248604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991416410311733321.post-85605566971772098032011-01-17T08:13:30.964-08:002011-01-17T08:13:30.964-08:00Yes!

No time line for it, but it helps me to have the smaller things done first so as not to distract. I clicked over from Lindsay's today, enjoyed my visit!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
