It'll make everything more cohesive when you do attack with revision pens.<br /><br />From your newb follower :)Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237422917705115205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-70457259132014965572011-08-05T10:26:07.998-07:002011-08-05T10:26:07.998-07:00I'm also really quick when I do revisions, and...I'm also really quick when I do revisions, and sometimes I miss things because of it. I did a full line edit about a month ago, but still when I get edits back from CPs I'm astounded by how much I've missed. I think going a little slower would help me not have to go through the MS so many times :)<br /><br />But sometimes making the quick decisions is good for me. If my initial reaction at seeing a CPs edit is "Oh, she's right, I don't need that," then I go ahead and change it right away, because I'm the kind of person who is constantly second guessing herself :) If I don't do it that way, I'll end up keeping clauses and phrases that really don't add anything to the story just because I'm unsure. And I need to get my word count down ;)Hermana Tiffany Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512773328198541058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291354210441448985.post-66602938915377036532011-08-05T08:17:02.714-07:002011-08-05T08:17:02.714-07:00Very wise!

I know my CPs hate it when I send them my full MS and then two days later ask if I can send them an updated version. :) In this biz, waiting and letting the thoughts simmer are the best and hardest things to do. :)Katrina L.
