Spring, Revisions, and the Writing Process: Why Editing Makes Your Book Stronger

It's Spring. 

I don’t know what that means where you are, but in the South? It means we could easily have all four seasons in one day. It means you can plant stuff before Tax Day, but only if you’re willing to watch them die a painful, frostbitten death. And it means that the pollen will, again, do its level best to end me. Y’all…the yellow dust is everywhere!

The weather can be gorgeous, but you don’t dare sit outside to enjoy it because if you do, you’ll basically be breathing in so much pollen that your lungs will go on strike!
