whew


i won, i did finish on time, i exceeded 50,000 words.
cheers, wine and whatnot.

yet, why do i have this little feeling creeping at the back of my mind that revision will take longer time and will be more difficult than the writing itself?
-
while writing, i soothed my nerves with sayings like: 'just go ahead', and 'it's good to have a good basis so you have at least something to revise', but now, after a week's rest i think i have to return and revise.

congratulations! The writing is a huge accomplishment. I agree about the revision. It will probably take longer and be more grueling than the actual creation; however, what fun it can be to be thoughtful about your language. This is my favorite part of the writing process. (Of course, I'm revising ten line poems, not novels!)

thanks Karen!

regardless of the length of writing, revision is difficult.
