Hey guys! Happy New Years!!! ^^ :D
So it’s another IWSG Wednesday which means it’s time again to share our fears, failures,
successes and give advice or encouragement.
Right
now I am working on revising my YA faery novel and…I hate it. It’s not horrible
and certainly not hopeless, but during the holiday season and the crazy work
hours that went with it, I put revision off and now I am working like a
madwoman to catch up. I’ve also got so many little brands in the fire that it’s
really kind of distracting, but they aren’t things I can put off right now. I’ve
discovered that this piece really should probably be in third POV and so that
sets me back even further. I really do like the story, but this part of the
revision process is the part that I really hate. I want to get some opinions on
it sooner than later, but it’s still too early in the process and I’m afraid that
I won’t get the kind of feedback I need because I’ll be changing what I would
have been sending out anyways. I kind of just want to face plant on my keyboard
and call it a night, but that’s not really an option.
What do
you do when you’re discouraged and on a deadline?
