At a recent outing to Starbucks with a group of writers, I stared at my computer and said, quite loudly, “I hate revisions with every fiber of my being.”
Y’all…a total stranger happened to be walking by. She looked at me and said, “Me too. Me too.”
Of course, it was about 3 seconds later that I realized I had said that right in front of a wonderful editor, an editor I call a friend, and a man who has coached many writers to excellence. ***Open mouth…insert foot.***
But the thing is…it’s true. I hate revisions. Some writers love them. They enjoy picking the story apart and putting it back together.
