But when you've been working on something for over a year and you're sooooooo close to being done... taking as long as a month to work through your edits can feel like a lifetime.<br /><br />I admit that one of my failings in life is patience. Thankfully, my kids help me work on that. :Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03593882598668421250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-52907757538138330252012-05-14T07:44:17.802-07:002012-05-14T07:44:17.802-07:00Hey, Kate, I don’t find only being at page 47 in e...Hey, Kate, I don’t find only being at page 47 in edits an “ultimate writer fail.” The fact that you are editing to get the piece finished is a win. You will get it to where you want it to be and then publish. Caring about the work, ending and big picture will be appreciated by the readers.<br /><br />I love listening to music playlists as well and the songs with words can be distracting if fighting against the ones you are drafting. Haven’t done Pandora, but I need to check it out. Have a great week!Barbara McDowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12134385003818506704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-15094501712470770302012-05-14T06:50:30.706-07:002012-05-14T06:50:30.706-07:00Love new baby's expression!

It has to be instrumental. <br /><br />As for the editing - I hear you. But it's better to take your time and be satisfied. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. You'll get there - and it will be good!Nadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-59169546059169926282012-05-13T20:45:48.052-07:002012-05-13T20:45:48.052-07:00Congratulations on caring enough about your story ...Congratulations on caring enough about your story to take the time you need and do things right. Way to go!<br /><br />Thanks for the music tips. I've been needing some new stuff to write to. I can write to music with words most of the time, so I don't have any good recommendations for you. Sometimes when I don't feel like having words in my music, I put on a Pandora station I made from Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings soundtracks.<br /><br />And finally--what a fantastic pic of the baby! What a face! so cute. :)Kim Switzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248311322811949516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-38086180370107543342012-05-13T15:21:02.791-07:002012-05-13T15:21:02.791-07:00I love musical inspiration - can't believe Pan...I love musical inspiration - can't believe Pandora's not available in Canada anymore...Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2124919608656357387.post-70683361957006768912012-05-13T13:22:51.163-07:002012-05-13T13:22:51.163-07:00Self-editing actually needs to be a slow process i...Self-editing actually needs to be a slow process if you want to do it right. I'm actually tackling this exact topic on my blog today: http://emcastellan.com/2012/05/13/row-check-in-5-the-art-of-self-editing-your-novel/ I still think you're doing well.
