deepfishyOkay, so, making a solemn vow for my blogaversary? Not quite the "tomorrow" promised (that was six days ago). But a public declaration was obviously good for something, because I finally finished the edit yesterday, and sent it off tonight.
(ohgod)
There comes a time during the edit when I'm sick of the story. My judgement's shot from too much time scrutinising sentence structure and considering possible punctuation, every piece of dialogue sounds like either purple prose or a telegram, and I just wish the damned thing was out the door. Only not, because this paragraph over here makes no sense now that the introduction's changed, and this description is too general, and the last line really, really sucks.
To say nothing of the title.
But when I'm finished, I've (hopefully) got a story I can be proud of. I don't think I'll be reading this one again for a few years, but I'm happy with it. It's out the metaphorical door. It's submitted. It's gone.
(ohgodohgodohgod)
I'm fine.
