I always dread going back to revise because somewhere between finishing the rough draft and letting it sit, I convince myself it's really, really bad. <BR/><BR/>Then I begin revising and laugh because it's never as bad as I thought! Plus, it's fun to mock my bad writing slip-ups.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful writing week!Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-91391812868422412542009-04-06T09:02:00.000-06:002009-04-06T09:02:00.000-06:00Diane - Yes, it is getting longer!
