I’ve lost all perspective. I’m clueless about my own writing. I’m changing things back and forth and back again. Um, then forth…again. I know. I know. Put it aside. Put it aside. Come back to it later. I’ll try.
Revisions are like fixing hair for the prom. You wash it, you dry it, you brush it, you curl it, you pin it up and walk out the door. Then you just can’t stop yourself from checking the mirror a few million times to fix the strays.
Knowing you, I’m sure the back and the forth are equally wonderful and that’s why you’re having so much trouble deciding which way you like it better.
I concur. And I’ve seen the writing so I am right. 🙂
Is it okay if I say “Ditto,” here? 🙂

We *always* agree with Anne Marie. It’s the duck way.
Only in this case, I think the anonymous poster that Anne Marie is agreeing with is my mom. So my tendency is to say YOU’RE ALL BIASED!! 🙂
So that’s my problem. I never went to the prom. LOL.
I’m feeling your revision pain today, Kristy.
Oh then you missed out on the amazing opportunity of the toil of creating perfect prom hair? What a tragedy. 🙂
I know
I’m there in that place too!
I’m grateful to know I’m not alone. Thanks for swimming in the revision cess pool with me Meg. It’s a dirty job.
You nailed it with the prom hair! I’m right there with ya.
And it’s impossible to achieve! I have the photos to prove it. Oh. Wait. We’re talking about revisions, not prom hair, right? Well then, I have the manuscripts to prove it. 🙂
Ha! prom hair! But I also put mayo in my hair to make it silky… too much mayo.. so I would have to add… washing it 100 times!!! : )
Ack! And ick. Ewww. The thought of that much mayo makes me want to hurl. Sort of like how revisions make me feel sometimes. 🙂
You’re Wrong
Anonymous is not your mom in that first comment. Today is the first time I’ve read this entry. Hey! Your prom hair-do looked great. 🙂 Yes, I know, I know, I’m the mom. Mom

Oh! Then, ooooo. I have a mystery anonymous poster. How exciting! Let’s pretend it’s a famous NY editor.
