Hi! Welcome to weeks 25 and 26 in my Year of Writing! I'm just amazed that I've kept up keeping a record this long. ;) How are you all progressing with your writing projects? Can you believe we're halfway through the year? Eep!

I took much of June off to focus on family time while C was here. Short visit for her this summer because she has an opportunity to be overseas with a friend and friend's family - where she is for the rest of this month. She's having a blast! Even so, I managed to start taking chapter by chapter notes on my WIP, after receiving insightful feedback from my smart writing partners. I will be done with notes today, and spend tomorrow reviewing my revision ideas notes. I'm taking deep breaths.

While I was note-taking yesterday, I felt despair over the possibility of not being able to do justice to this piece. I told cfaughnan that I was considering just tossing the entire thing out and maybe just starting something new. She reminded me of two things: 1) That I always feel this way before I start a big revision and 2) that I usually feel this way about 3/4's of the way into my re-read. OMG. She was right! It's good to have someone who has been along for the ride for over seven years to point things like this out! So, I'm taking a deep breath and pushing forward.

I do think I'll feel better once I start the actual re-writing. Soon. Soon.

Love to hear how you're doing!
