Editing is my favorite part of the process, once the sloppy soup all over the page has a chance to be cleaned up and solidified into something truly delicious. Can you tell I skipped lunch?

I would have a ton more abandoned stories if I didn't do all that I could to hash everything out before I started writing.<br />I do hope you figure out how to make your process work better, though. Realizing you want to do a rewrite sucks. >_<Mason T.

Yeah, that's sort of where I am with my most recent. I hope that the more I write, the more efficient the process will get, but so far, nope. Every novel goes through the hellish revision of limbo land. Someday, my roughs will be better. <br /><br />Someday.... you know, in that mythical place where chocolate has no calories.
