And when you are ...I love the revision process too. And when you are lucky enough to have professional comments, it's the best. Right now I'm still revising my adult novel. Then plan to get back to my midgrade novel.<br />Waiting to hear from my editor on my picture book. My first experience was with online books. I am amazed at how long major publishers can take to get comments to you. One year and counting....The Pen and Ink Blogspothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709195512534318571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-36324122831909441722013-02-21T23:59:12.374-08:002013-02-21T23:59:12.374-08:00Good luck with those edits!Good luck with those edits!Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-11654877285144328312013-02-21T12:53:42.591-08:002013-02-21T12:53:42.591-08:00Well done, Rosemary, for all the writing and editi...Well done, Rosemary, for all the writing and editing you have achieved recently. I'm really glad it's going so well. I love the editing stage too and have been spending this week doing exactly that. Re-writing is lovely too and I wish you luck with the one you sent off today, which sounds full of promise. I'm sure it will be successful.<br />I so agree that there is always more to learn and I think all editing an rewriting work is filled with incredible eye-openers. Making the changes can be very rewarding and satisfying.<br />Do let us know you get on with all of these. Wishing you great success with them all. xJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-1522741008762796002013-02-21T07:15:15.923-08:002013-02-21T07:15:15.923-08:00I so agree, Rosemary.

It doesn't matter how long we have been writing, or how well we do it, there's always more to learn, and our work is all the better for it.<br />Congratulations on reaching the edit stage for The Jigsaw Puzzle, and good luck with that adult historical.<br />I've never attempted a children's book (apart from the private ones I write for my grandchildren) I've always imagined it to be one of the most difficult genres, so I'm looking forward to your new series.<br />Rena Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520149404274102132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-62578424980992478792013-02-21T05:24:28.432-08:002013-02-21T05:24:28.432-08:00I can't believe how busy you've been, Rose...I can't believe how busy you've been, Rosemary.
