Take Two!
And Draft 2 of the Dreaded Thesis Essay is with my reader. Yay! Sometime in the next week I will know if I'm done-done or another revision away.
I really, really hope I'm done-done.
I know I should have switched gears today to researching agents, poking at my query, making my synopsis not suck... But instead I cleaned my desk. I played with iTunes. I did a bunch of random online stuff I've been meaning to get to. And now I'm revising the chapters of Mordagrin I wrote over the summer.
I needed that today. A lot. I've been flipping between essay/query/essay/query for a month, and only sometimes letting myself play with story- and even then, I would just do back-story scenes and little pieces of things, not wanting to let myself get too far into anything, knowing I'd have to be back at the 'more important' things.
But the 'more important' things? They're important, yeah. But the stories have to be most important. Without the stories, I'm nowhere. And it's not like I'm going to quit doing the things that will push me where I want to be, but I need to remember to balance it out.
And with that, back to revising.
