Smooth Editing? Of course not.

On my iPod:  Kisses don’t lie – Evelyn Champagne King
On my Kindle:  Sweet Little Lies – Michele Grant

Unfortunately, unlike my iPod playlist, editing is not smooth sailing.  I didn’t realize how intensive this could be, all the cutting I would do.  And I have to admit, cutting my words is like cutting a limb sometimes (not that I know what that feels like but you get it, right?). 
I wanted to dive into it much like a person would dive into a pool during a heat wave or even a sweet dessert on a cheat day.  My goal was to be finished in record time. 
The problem?  I have no time to sit down and write.  A page here, two pages there is hardly record time.  July has turned out to be the month where I run around with my head cut off (that award usually goes to August). 
Wedding to plan and coordinate.
Relatives in town.
Book to edit.
And a slew of other things I’d rather not mention.
Let’s hope I can find some quiet time to get back into my Never Scared zone.

  1. I know just how you feel! But I'm doing even worse than you - can hardly even get one paragraph per day edited! Sometimes it's less than that... :P
