I’ve never liked revising. Things have not changed in the five years I’ve been writing seriously. I mean, I usually get so sick of it that I’d rather just rewrite the entire flipping book, than revising it chapter after chapter, page after page.
I’ve no idea how to fix this problem of mine, but I imagine I’ll get over it. Except for the stray chapter, DEALING WITH DEMONS really only needs some revising. You know. Tidy up this bit. Get the description of that character just right.
It’d tedious, and boring, and I want to be done.
I’m only on chapter eight. *sob*
But I figure, one chapter a day. If I finish one chapter every day, I’ll be finished revising in just a bit over a month. There will be some chapters that need re-writing, and those will take at least two days. And some just need to be yoinked out completely. Those won’t take much time at all. So a month.
I can have this finished in a month, and then spend until december agonizing over query letters. Not looking forward to that, either. But, whatever. This is what I want to be doing. That means that I have to suck it up when there’s something I don’t want to do, and do it anyway.
Let’s hear it for learning to be a mature and responsible adult.
