But it had to be done. If I had an editor I'd probably be complaining that he wants me to change this scene or that, wants rewrites, wants cuts, etc. Well, fortunately or unfortunately, I have my own internal editor and I have to do what it dictates. I have done this unfailingly.
As a result, I have reached the promised land (I think). The book may be done. I'll know when I read it. For now, I plan to take Sunday off and enjoy a day of football and horror movies. It makes sense to freshen my outlook before reading the book for the umpteenth time. Soon, my little pretties. Hang on.

"Added a vignette this morning. A couple others I'm thinking of cutting.
If you wait a few hours, any particular "draft" is "obsolete", i.e. revised, at this early stage of the rewriting process. But these are small changes. The Big Picture remains."
Hmm, sounds like a writer I know. I wonder what a conversation with a table full of writers would sound like?
He's a good guy, isn't he? I'd like to know him. As for being in a room filled with writers, I've never had the experience. I've known a few but they never wanted to talk about their writing. Odd, that. Happy Sunday, Annie!
