Your dedication to your craft is truly admirable, but I can certainly understand how your brain and body had had enough and let you know it in no uncertain terms. Definitely something for us all to keep in mind next time.<br /><br />I hope you're getting some rest and some time to recharge. That way, when you go back to your manuscript, you're be at 100% and you'll do fantastic work!Jen J.

I've tried a lot of things to shut down and haven't learned the secret yet. But I know what you mean about letting the writing process take its time. Not only is it better for your work, but for your health. Hope you're sleeping better now. :)Kathi Oram Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11959149321213743448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-71510776826651041252011-01-25T09:16:59.536-08:002011-01-25T09:16:59.536-08:00The doctor called.

And if your agent responds (positively or negatively) in the next couple weeks you should be straight up with her and tell her that you might need more time. Don't kill yourself on editing.
