Considering that I'm only one edit two, it feels weird to have that feeling about it. I've never finished a story that I haven't worked it over three edits (at least, maybe 6 or 8 times) before it takes on that feeling. So, since DLG is feeling that way on the second edit is worrisome.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-9326413256374322252007-08-08T18:21:00.000-04:002007-08-08T18:21:00.000-04:00You've said that before about the fish.

I think I'll frame it. :)<BR/><BR/>I need to finish it. DLG went quickly from "Kewl!" to "cold fish." When it feels like a cold fish, I know it's time to send it out. Maybe that's what I should do. Finish the red-line edit, add in the little lines I've got on scraps of paper, and send it out.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-73577950927637167152007-08-08T13:14:00.000-04:002007-08-08T13:14:00.000-04:00You're crazy in a good way, Steve.And for sure, do...You're crazy in a good way, Steve.<BR/><BR/>And for sure, don't reject your own stories on behalf of editors you haven't even submitted to yet.
