Revision: Falling or Flying?

Filed under: Touching the Surface

I finished my revisions for this round of edits!  I won’t lie, it feels wonderful. Of course I need to do a read through, smooth the edges, make sure that it feels right–but the kaki lion’s share of the work is done.  (Don’t ask, it’s a private joke and I just had to do it.)

I thought about blogging all these amazing thoughts about revision that are going through my head, but I’m not ready.  I want to hog them for a little while.  This whole experience was monumental for me and I don’t think I’m ready or able to share yet.  But I promise I will when it feels right.

The one thing I can tell you is that I’m proud of what I’m writing.  I know that when Surface hits the shelves, not everyone will like it, but what I’ve learned is that what matter most is that I like it.  And I do.  And because of that, and the way I feel right now–I want to share it with you, but I can’t.  So I thought that maybe I would share a song that is on my “Touching the Surface” playlist.  I played this one endlessly when I wrote parts of the book…

Falling or flying?

I chose flying…
