Sometimes this is a rinse and repeat process. I just did my first round of revisions on my newest novel, and now I'm letting it rest once again before tackling a major revision. It takes a lot of tweaking to get my books into shape.<br /><br />Best of luck with your WIPs!Shelley Slyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07981620646634240160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-16027802461312897622010-09-02T21:43:28.796-06:002010-09-02T21:43:28.796-06:00Though you're taking a little break at least y...Though you're taking a little break at least you're thinking about your WIPs and what you need to do.<br /><br />I just started a new book, and I'm excited about.

Not just the one that gets attention, but the one you need to write, ya know? I try not to restrict myself very much--if the idea comes, I give it time. Sometimes all a story has is a little intro and then it fades away. But sometimes I find I've stumbled onto something that just ... wow ... And I'm glad I didn't just pass it by.<brali crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023009704454279645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-21750509525375629462010-09-01T19:59:59.072-06:002010-09-01T19:59:59.072-06:00Wow you are so busy!

I think you'll notice too, that when you do get back to work on things, they'll flow better for you and you'll have much more direction.<br /><br />As for me, revising and writing on 2 wips, stewing on another one that's begging for attention.Windy Aphayrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274305159511812518noreply@blogger.com
