A list inspired by finally turning in my revisions:
1. Sometimes I can't get my characters to shut up! It's wonderful!
2. Sometimes my characters give me the silent treatment, even though they know I'm facing a deadline.
3. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is break my manuscript up into chapters.
4. Sometimes the only thing harder is numbering those chapters in the correct sequential order.
5. Sometimes my characters do things they know are out of character.
6. Sometimes, because of #5, I talk myself in circles.
7. Sometimes, after the twentieth reading, my book bores me.
8. Sometimes, after a break, there will be one little chapter that I think won't put people to sleep.
9. Sometimes, even after I turn in the revision, I spend the next few hours kicking myself.
10. Sometimes, because of #9, even the most patient husband gets a little... peeved.
11. Sometimes, I still have to pinch myself to believe my book is actually going to be a book.
12. Sometimes, I want to pinch the people around me. For no reason.
13. Always, I'm grateful for blog readers who put up with my lists!
