I have completed the principal writing of my third book. It was difficult sleeping last night as I had nothing to resolve about the book. Today, I am having trouble focusing or even getting the energy to organize myself for reading and revising. It is printed out waiting for me to put it into my three ring binder, but the idea of picking it up is not appealing. I liked the story very much -- was even moved to tears several times in writing it -- but this phase is hardly my favorite. After I make the revisions, I need to get it to an editor to do what editors do. But right now, I need to get started. Maybe after I take a nap!

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

~~ Ernest Hemingway
