A rewrite doesn't happen in a few weeks, more like six, and I have know a few authors who work full time to take three months, and their novels got published. <br />The worst thing you can do is rush. :)Suzanne Brandyn Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969670520269001723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-4835657377136763682010-10-30T02:20:23.842-07:002010-10-30T02:20:23.842-07:00Rach, you do what you can and no-one can expect mo...Rach, you do what you can and no-one can expect more!!

Ditto to what Cathryn said (and she ought to know right?). The absolute worst thing you can do for your writing, worse even than the simple fact you are time poor right now, is STRESS about what you're not getting done. One, you've got enough to stress about without adding to it. Two, it will destroy your creativity. A creative mind needs to be limber and loose. Leave the work, let the ideas move around until they sit right. Deal with the stuff in your life. Then come back to it refreshed. It'll do you wonders. Good luck.Sami Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424918229230095271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-31063663496442502462010-10-29T08:32:51.038-07:002010-10-29T08:32:51.038-07:00Huge support for the revisions Rach!

You just need to take the time you need to do the things you do. Sometimes that is invested in writing, other times not. It doesnt change your passion or your goals, it just means they are under revision and adjustment. We are but a work in progress and we put our own timeline on ourselves....Felicity Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285168151576800484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-22899970566149226982010-10-28T20:51:33.365-07:002010-10-28T20:51:33.365-07:00I bet I know who that wonderful author is who look...I bet I know who that wonderful author is who looked through your work!!

Editor's don't hand out rewrite and resubmit opportunities unless they're very, very interested, which means she'll be keen to read your work whether you send it tomorrow or in three months' time. Just let her know and you'll be okay.<br /><br />Chin up! All will be fine and dandy, you'll see.Cathryn Heinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638629707594115419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-56871647112142968942010-10-28T18:37:04.225-07:002010-10-28T18:37:04.225-07:00We do need to make time for writing :) It's o...We do need to make time for writing :) It's okay to take a break when you need to for the things that keep a roof over your head. When you're overtired you miss things, so your writing won't be the best it can be either. It won't be long before your back in front of that keyboard!Lacey Devlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05716109142743069204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428924548127436782.post-37346631569284695332010-10-28T18:14:43.110-07:002010-10-28T18:14:43.110-07:00Big hugs, Rach.
