So I guess it's my turn.
My last few posts have focused on my new idea. The bright, new, shiny one. I'm sooo psyched about it! I keep thinking about Mazzy and how things are going to go for her. Of course she won't be assigned to the guy she wants. But who will she be assigned to? And who will I introduce as the real love interest? I've got so many ideas. But I feel like I can't really shift gears and pay attention to that until I finish revising DRAWN TO YOU. I've got about 50 pages left of revising to do. My goal is to finish over Christmas break so then I can pay some attention to Mazzy.
But then poor Az and Icky are stuck in their little file, being ignored. Their outline is all finished. I know what to do with them. But I don't feel the excitement I feel about Mazzy.
Kiersten said she felt lonely, now that she's sent her favorite people out into the world. I feel guilty, leaving my characters all shut up in their file to rot. :(

Ah, the new "baby." Been there—it's always difficult to decide when to put one to bed. There's no right answer.
New relationships are always more exciting than old ones. Hope you get the motivation you need to finish revising and focus on your new idea 100%!
*looks around sheepishly* I feel awful, but did I miss you finishing DRAWN TO YOU? Anyway, I'm sure Mazzy will quiet down long enough for you to finish revising. Just give her a stern talking to.
Thanks, Natalie and Christa. I feel bad leaving Azarel in pieces, but I can always go back, I suppose. Might as well write what I'm excited about.
Sara, I actually "finished" DTY in November and have been working on revisions ever since. I still want to flesh out the ending a bit more, but the story's all there.
I'm revising a manuscript right now, and it's difficult.
I have another idea for a novel, which I think is more salable; but I won't let myself work too hard on it until this draft of my current novel is ready to send out.
It's tough, but I think it's the best way to go.
I think you're right, Justus. I'm going to buckle down and finish revising.
I love that, "to rot." It's exactly how it feels! They do seem to deteriorate a bit. Ah well.
I love the temptress. The temptress is bugging me like crazy.
Good luck with the revisions! I'm busy on that with my ms and it's painful!!
