Mike – sorry ’bout that. Believe me, mine are worse.

Good luck on the revisions, I don’t see how anyone could do that in two or three weeks. I think your estimate is more realistic.

Good for you for only taking half an hour – you don’t even want to know how long it took me. :)

Writing the novel has been a bit of an exercise in plumbing the previously unplumbed murky depths. Finding the theme to the stuff I dredged up was actually less painful than I expected it to be. But my brain still hurts.

Kidding. But I understand your frustration. I was tackling the conflicts/subplots yesterday. Seemed a bit of an academic exercise when the bulk of them were variations on the same.

Oh well!

Good luck….

I feel for you. I just finished the major revisions on my novel, THE GATEKEEPERS’ CHARGE. I did not use Holly’s one-pass revision plan, because frankly, I started revising before I ever heard anything about that…maybe next time.

I wish you lots of luck and look forward to following your progress. :)
