Again.
But at least this read through only took seven hours, a record, since the last one took ten, spread out over two visits to Starbucks instead of one.
And now I'm done. Really.
When I tell my critique partners this, they smile.
They know me, and therefore know I'll never be done revising, at least not until I get a book contract.
And you know what?
Even then there will be revisions. With an agent and with an editor. Two, three, ten?
Is the revision process ever over?
At some point, I'm sure I'll have to say, "Yes! This is it."
And then, knowing me, I'll never be able to read my book once in print. Because I'll want to make changes.
Guess the only cure will be to start a new project and take it from there.
