My book came back from the editor.
Looks like a roadmap to the obscure. She said nice things,
encouraging things, things which make me feel as if I’m on the right track.
But my head…a bucket of rocks.
Lots of stones, pebbles and grains of sand, all sharing the same space and settling for position.
Yup, hard headed and eager to shift the load. Foundation is
built, time to chink the cracks.
Huh, what the hell does this post mean?
ReplyDeleteWrote it just before I had to head out the door to work. (One month 'til semi-retirement). I was running late. The editor says, "...don't rush it." I want to but won't.
Okay, my bucket and I are on task.
Well, I think I got what you meant. Sometimes looking at feedback the first go round is overwhelming because you want to zippity doo right along, and be done so you can be...done! I'd follow the advice...don't rush it. Take it a bit at a time. It can be daunting, but, once you get into it, I think you'll settle in.
ReplyDeleteOne month... what an awesome countdown.
ReplyDeleteI hope those rocks have been ground down to sand which is now slowly trickling away as you (slowly) make your way through your edits =)
Big choices, big changes.
DeleteI am taking it slowly, don't want to miss a moment of the right way to go.
YAY! Congrats, darling! I'm so happy for you. I'm sure those rocks look like flowers by now. ;-)
