I feel like a rockstar.

I did it. I revised a story. This may sound like nothing, but it's something big to me. This is my kid's book that I took out for a spin last year. I sent it to a publishing company, never heard back, so did nothing. So much for persistence (which, ironically, is what the story is about).

As part of my revised schedule, I've been working in the mornings on writing. Some mornings I actually write. But most mornings, I've been revising my work. It's hard to tear something down that I once thought was so good. I still think this story has a weak point, but I'm proud of it. I took it from a draft to a polished story.

It makes me feel amazing.

Yay!

Btw, I'm searching Chicago for a writer's group.
