I really hate revising. Rewriting. I'm not sure if it's laziness, or what. Maybe I don't want to look at my own words? It's kind of overwhelming.

Not to be a bad influence (ahem) but you *could* take a break and go read the outline of EverAfter I just posted. Since my world has gotten very strange lately, I find myself doing strange things, and that was one of them. As for your revising, please don't revise TOO much, because it's hard to improve on perfection.

You are such a sap!!!

I use the word "so" so so much. Going through a manuscript and putting it into find...eek! Then I started on "that." I shudder to contemplate "just" and "really."

Revising is always a pain for me, too. In my case, it's because I'm terribly scared that when I read it it won't have any sense, and I'll have to rewrite everything again.

In your case, I'm sure this wouldn't happen since you're an amazing writer :)

I'm kind of worried about that too! And looking at all the crap I've written, I'm starting to doubt the worth of the project at all. But thank you for the lovely compliment.

Lol, I always find getting the first draft out is like giving birth of some sort, I have to commit myself and really WORK on it. Everything after is bound to be easire. Revising to me is fun and a little like decorating a cake - they baking process can be a bit of a drag. Can you tell I use a lot of similes in my writing. *is dork*

I'd look at your words any day.

Can we swap, please?

Um that should say "easier" and "the baking process". I should really REVISE my own comments. *snorts*

I think I'm just lazy -- I don't want to do the work. I don't decorate my cakes, either. ;)
