I've always kind of liked editing, revising, stuff like that, on stuff I've written. That's because I like having written things, and I honestly like re-reading my own nonsense. I amuse myself.

But there's something to be said, an extra special *ZING* to revising a manuscript, when you're doing it because a literary agent said, "This is good enough for a second chance, if you'd revise it."

I know that it's no guarantee that said agent will go, "OMG this is now exactly what I want." This happens a lot, I get that. You can revise till the cows come home and you put them in the barn and then milk them the next day and brush them down and feed them and pet their noses, and after all of that, said agent can say, "Sorry, I'm still not in love with it."

I get that, I really do! It's just that, the encouragement means so much. Just knowing "this is good enough stuff for another look" is like, soul-humpingly good.

I AM HAPPY.

Woohoo, I have full faith that it'll be EXACTLY what they are looking for. After all, it must be to their liking if it piqued their interest.

You go girl.
