It started with a week away from home for work travel. Our annual conference in Orlando. Good times! Got some sun, had some fun, ate some great food, and did a bunch of "video blogging"--they gave me a camera and had me roam around talking to people and filming my thoughts.
I feel bad for our editing guy--4 hours of me rambling. My voice will haunt his dreams.
The week after? I was just lazy, I guess.
OK, so back on track. Where am I?
I was rewriting. I trimmed the beginning--made a change that echoed throughout the manuscript and required a go-through to make all necessary changes.
Done!
And I'm glad I did it. I think it is a hell of a lot better.
And now, I switch hats. I go from author to editor and go back through and tear the whole thing apart.
Then I get some some lovely critical reviews from people other than myself.
But this is Now. Right Now. What we are seeing/doing is happening right Now. We are working on the Now, not the Then, and even though the Then will become the Now soon, it hasn't done so yet (and we don't want to skip a head to Then now cause that would be confusing).
So editing it is. As if I don't do enough of that at work.

did make a Spaceballs reference, yes. Thanks for noticing.
