If you're not able to have the proper distance anymore, you need to step back. You have plenty of other goals to work on. Sundown won't get too lonely.<br /><br />Good luck! I've been there, too. We get over it and get the stuff done we need to.

I keep chucking old words, adding new ones, going back to older drafts and pulling the former words back in... It's endless! I think that advice to step away is spot on. Maybe just a few more chapters and I'll do it...Deniz Bevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134553551048836979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238481189278119116.post-78284161597133759622011-05-08T10:10:37.349+08:002011-05-08T10:10:37.349+08:00This sounds WRONG of me to say, but ...I'm gla...This sounds WRONG of me to say, but ...I'm glad I'm not alone in this revision burn-out thing. lol.

Sometimes I think it's because I'm never sure what I only have in my head, and what's actually on the paper.<br /><br />Great drawing.
