My life is
all about revisions right now. First, we revised our backyard. We decided to
invest in it for Westly’s sake. We extended our fence to add 9 extra feet of
room, and laid concrete over half the yard. So now we have a nice patio to
entertain and hang out, and West has a space for chalk art, trike riding, and
the such. A great revision!
Second, I am
doing final revisions to Book 4. My editor just finished with it, and I
finished making his revisions last night. I’ve definitely grown as a writer
with each book I’ve written. I’m now at a point where I can be very decisive
about my editor’s comments. Most of his edits are valid, but there are a few
that I choose not to follow based on knowing my own writing style, intentions,
etc. It’s exciting to have this new confidence in my writing.
Third, I am
having to revise bedtime routines with Westly. We were making great progress
with him falling asleep by himself. Then the inevitably annoying thing
happened: he caught a little cold. And because he couldn’t breathe well, I had
to rock him to sleep the last two nights. I feel like I’m always taking two
steps forward and two steps in my parenting. Well, as soon as his airways are
open, we’re back to our new sleep routine…hopefully.
Revisions
can be tough.
