Yes, and in this case it even opened up greater organization of other previous content within the same vignette…interesting phenom, even if it meant tearing down to rebuild. I’m especially pleased because it is really becoming a more polished piece, tho not done! HA!

Cool. I’ll have to pop over there sometime.
Let me(us) know about MG progress, okay?

What a descriptor: tortured – oh, yeah!

You’re welcome! I can be found on Our Daily Bread’s website some months, though I’m never sure when my devotionals go up. Still in the querying stage on my MG book.

And is it ever done?…the ultimate rabbit hole for us (he)artists, no matter the medium. Yikes.

Sometimes I love the rewrites, the challenge of making the writing tighter, cleaner, more powerful. But sometimes I worry I’ve lost something doing so. It’s always a struggle to know when and where and how to revise your work. And is it ever done? Is there ever a “final” draft?
