Writing against the clock...
Received revisions yesterday.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
But
1) Trust my editors
2) they're right
3) want to write the best book possible
4) owe it to my characters to tell their story- all of it, the best way I can
This last point is perhaps the most relevant... so much of their story lives in my head that it doesn't always make it to the page.
Well, I have 5 days to rectify the situation, which pretty much means rewriting three quarters of the book...
Off the the writing cave.
Believe it's going to be sunny here today too...! Never mind.
Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
Susan
