Easing down

After the highlights of yesterday, the great news about my books, today I'm faced witht he mountain of edits and am feeling like my balloon got busted. So I've worked all yesterday and most of this morning cutting the beginning of the book and making it over. Then I'll go through and change up each individual issue Trace pointed out to me. I know that once I impliment all the changes it's going to eb a great book, but for right now I swear I'm sick of the story. I go through that with each of my books.

During the writing phase I love the story, I love the plot and the research. The first round of edits I'm still liking the tale. By the final round I hate the story so much I'd prefer to scratch my eyes out with rusty brillo pads. Of course once its out the hard work is worth it.

In personal news my neighbor is still in a comatose state on a ventilator I was hoping to head up and see her today, but since I woke with a sore throat it isn't wise for me to expose her to any more than what that damn quack already exposed her to.

My son spent Easter weekend with my parents, it was so great to see him want to be with us. He's going through a real rough time. Not only just the regular crap thats been burning between us all since last October, but last Thursday a friend of his died. She was a lovely lady from our church, she and I had gone to school together and her daughter and my son's...girlfriend are best friends. The death was so sudden and unexpected it sent all of us into a tail spin. My son is struggling now trying to figure out what to do to help and how to reach out for support when he knows how upsert he's made us all. I am just going to have to sit back and try to make sure he knows I'm here for him if he wants me.

I'm heading off back down into the editing pit.

Huggles!
