There ’sno snow.
Maybe a half an inch-ish, but definately not much. I’d have to go outside to get a real measurement and that’s not happening. It’s cold!
A perfect day to huddle in the editing cave.
Blech.
Actually, I’m doing my final round of edits on a book that I’d already thought was finished. I guess it’s a good idea that I decided to read through it one last time before sending it off into the cruel world.
I have notes like, “CHECK THIS OUT” for facts and “ADD LOVE SCENE HERE.” Plus, I’m missing an ending. How did I manage to write a book and not end it?
That’s not true. I’m sure I wrote the ending - an epilogue. I remember because I tied in several things from earilier in the book. There was a time that all my loose ends were in a nice little bundle, but apparently I lost it ’cause it’s certainly not there now.
I’m not sure this book has a future anyway though. It’s OLD, and while I love the story, there’s just something - meh - about the writing in places. I’ve tried to fix it, and I have improved most of it, but there are still just some parts that are - meh.
Oh well, I can hope that an editor will love the good parts and help me to fix the - meh - parts.
After it has an ending and one last love scene.

Emma, I think all of us go through that. I know I do. Get to the rewrite/editing stage and think most of what I’ve written is crap. Fix it up and still find more crap.
As you say, hopefully an editor will like it enough to help with the crappy parts. :wink:

Glad you found those places before you mailed it off! Hopefully you can add the sparkle where you need it.
