No new posts under this title thread for 44 days now ... No hopes. No dreams. Sure as hell not much in the way of schemes in place for literary world domination

Maybe the people with hopes, dreams and schemes are no longer here?
Whatever gets in the way of the work, is the work.

Bit of both, probably. Maybe moved on to crawl round and round in circles somewhere else...

I'm here, too. Still dreaming and writing and trying to get this damn book finished to re-submit to an agent. Ugh. Why can't I let it go? Just say I'm done? I always have to fiddle with it and tweak it and do this and that or the other. It's frustrating.

How do you writers manage to keep writing as well as all the editing and tweaking on one already finished. My story is actually finished but there is a mountain of editing and revising to do that I can't seem to see beyond. I can't switch off the one story to start another or even a sequel.

My story is actually finished but there is a mountain of editing and revising to do that I can't seem to see beyond. I can't switch off the one story to start another or even a sequel. Print off the completed one. Demand peace and quiet. Sit on the sofa with a pen, bottle of wine, bar or box of chocolates and your MS. Just read it aloud and strike though what doesn't sound or look right. When I've done all that, mine goes off to my very wonderful Editor who goes through it all over again and get's it all nice and polished. If you need an Ed, email me and I'll give you his details. He's a whizz with the patience of a saint and it takes away all the pain of deciding what should stay in and what should go.  Then you can concentrate on your next while that ones being edited.
