Well…the torture is not over yet. I’ve been writing a little this week (not nearly as much as I should, of course), but I’ve also been thinking a lot about revising my work that I’m currently shopping around. I’m just not sure if I’m there yet, if the story is strong enough. I’ve gotten some rejections from agents – par for the course, I know, but it’s making me really, deeply think about the manuscript and if it’s there.

I’ve asked a critique partner, who read the last draft of it, to read it through again and let me know what she thinks. In the meantime, I’ve started musing about ways to make the story stronger and deeper. I haven’t actually started tinkering with it yet, but I have been letting things simmer.

I’ve also randomly started turning to my husband and saying things like, “Instead of the mother being a weak, scared woman, I’m thinking of making her a strong, scared woman.” I’m sure he’s very pleased about it.

So, there you have it, on my first themeless Thursday. More writing about writing. Is that not the definition of fun or what?
