Remember that "maybe"?

The editor wants to see revisions! I spent a good part of Wednesday tweaking the meter in a few stanzas of the manuscript I mentioned the other day. It is a counting book told in rhyme. What fun huh? Also, what a pain!

I love rhyme, but sometimes getting just the right words into just the right metric pattern can be like finding two socks in the laundry with the same shade of whiteness!

Tough job, but worth it!

  1. Congrats on the revisions! Love your sock analogy. I have no talent whatsoever for rhyming and have great respect for those of you who do.

  3. Quick update: I sent the revision back to the editor and should hear a final answer in the next few weeks.
