They aren't there right now. I'm very good at this non-writing stuff too, altho I have a zillion blog posts all ready to go.<BR/><BR/>But I recently finished revising Third-Rate Romance (just waiting now to get rejected by the editor who requested the full *g*). I thought I was ruthlessly cutting backstory and POV problems, but I wound up w/4000 more words. It's too soon to tell if this is a good or bad thing. I did a few consecutive chaps every single day for a couple of weeks to make sure I remembered the flow of the story. I usually skip around when I write, so it was crucial to make sure all the pieces fit. I wrote nothing else so I wasn't distracted. The revision went much better than I expected, making me want to go back to the two masterpieces under the bed. Good luck with Unbridled!Maggie Robinson/Margaret Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585076626818354332noreply@blogger.com
