I'm revising at the moment...hence the related quotes. (Edie, Linda...I know you're revising, too. How's it going? Hope these touch your funny bone. Anyone else revising?)
Books aren't written -- they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.
~ Michael Crichton
The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.
~ Robert Cormier
Rewriting is like scrubbing the basement floor with a toothbrush.
~ Pete Murphy

Great quotes, Joan. I just finished some very painful revisions. LOL Now I'm taking the day off to recharge. Extensive revising always takes a lot out of me, especially if I think of the story as finished.
