I know it will all get another polish, but with each chapter done at the whetstone I admire the edge.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

I wonder how many other things in life have these kinds of errors after at least three full revisions? Laws maybe?

Good writing is a magic trick. They can re-read it to see where you hid the Ace of Spades, but the empty palm needs to hit.

Now imagine the many dramas going on in the author's life in the years it took to write, edit, and publish the book.

The benefit of my 4th editing pass on this section is that I remember having the same argument with myself the other three times. Hmm...shows up on my editing radar every time does it?

The editor in me does not care much for the writer in me.

When I am in revisions, the word count quota flips. My word count is -200 today. Also, who wrote this garbage?

Each scene brings its own challenges. This one is all about water - how many ways are there really to describe things being wet?

Do I really need to submerge myself in the acid bath of capitalism every day?
Can't I just write full time instead?

Ensemble scenes - such as the one I have with 6 different characters - are terrible to write.

As crazy as it sounds, I am writing a book on writing my book. I am using so many *novel* techniques that I started cataloguing them. So I'm just going to publish that alongside my book at the same time. Here is my book. Here is how I made this book.
