They do—at least according to Kelli Gwen, inspirational romance writer and Sacramento Valley Rose chapter member.
Today I stood at the beginning of that rocky path—massive revisions to a contracted manuscript that has been waiting for months. I wasn’t avoiding the task. My editor and I had agreed to leave it alone until after the holidays. She had a pile of manuscripts to edit. I had a couple of stories to write for another publisher, so the delay worked for both of us.
Truth is, I started the revisions several months ago. Truth is, I had to fight myself not to focus on them, throw myself into them wholeheartedly. Discipline—which I usually lack—kept me intent on where I needed to be—on those two other stories.
Now…A prologue is drafted and I’m actually feeling the same anticipation, the same joy as when I wrote the story the first time.
But first… Yep, that second story I wrote for another publisher needs revisions before I can send it off. Hopefully, I can keep my enthusiasm for that one as I have for the one still sitting here…waiting.
The wonderful cover is for my December 15, 2011 release from eXtasy Books. It has a holiday there if you want a hot holiday gift for your significant other. Drop by my website to read an excerpt: deebrice.com.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

If only I had your problem, Dee! Revisions on 2 books at once, oh the dilemma!
I cannot believe you write as many books a year as you do. You are on fire lady. Go, Dee, Go!
