I finally, finally, finished my first draft of my current project. Now I'm in edit mode. Reading a printed copy works better for me during this round rather than editing on the screen, and true to the saying, "all first drafts are awful," most of mine looks like this. I'd like to say I'm powering through the edits, but other life-distractions are holding things up some. Once I get through these changes and into a resting phase, I'm toying with going back to the manuscript I've been submitting for the last year. Apparently, I have a good query letter, because there's been some nice response, but it's all rejection or dead silence once I submit a full or partial. But, I've been, well,
judicious about sending it out, and since I haven't given it a good look for over a year, I'm thinking perhaps there's some tweaking to be done, before giving it another try out there in the world. I worked so hard on that one, it makes me sick to think it may end up in the proverbial drawer.
And so, on I go. How about you?
