Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist a little Willy Wonka there.  Yesterday began the read-through/revising process of my YA manuscript.  It’s amazing how quickly I can read through something that took such a long time to produce.  It’s a little sad, and it really makes me appreciate all the time and work that goes writing into each book I read. (Not to mention all the work by agents, editors, and publishers!)  I’m excited to begin this stage but also a little nervous.  As soon as I stop actively creating, my mind wants to focus on new things.  I’ve got a couple of ideas rumbling around, as well as a half-written middle grade book that I need to finish.  But one thing at a time – I want to get this book out the door.  My deadline is January 15th.  Wish me luck.
