AARGH! I HATE THIS!
A month or so ago, I got a fantastic and insightful critique from David Perry on the draft of CROW OF CONNEMARA which made me itch to get back to that novel. But I waited, since I hadn't yet heard from Sheila Gilbert, my editor. This morning I talked to Sheila, who has always been able to make me look at a book with new eyes and make it better. She did the same again in this conversation. Her thoughts, and the thoughts I'd had in the meantime along with David's comments all coalesced together very nicely, and now I'm all excited to go in and revamp the novel along these lovely new lines.
But I have five short stories and essays to critique this afternoon for tomorrow's classes, and the galleys for IMMORTAL MUSE just landed on the porch, and I have band practice tonight. So I can't do anything yet with CROW no matter how eager I am to dive back into it, and it's *killing* me...
AARGH!
