Edited on STRANGE CANDY today. Hopefully, I’ll finish up tomorrow. My head went really ugly during the editing, which it does sometimes. You know, nothing makes you happy, nothing seems right, and you hate it all. Every writer I know admits that sometimes you just can’t see your own writing clearly. Head going ugly is the opposite problem that you sometimes have when you’ve finished a glorious muse-driven rush. Sometimes you think it reads better than it does, or some of the bits are in your head so clearly you think they are on the paper, but they are not. Both ugly and muse-driven bliss are cured by time. You put the writing away, let it, and you, cool off. Then you come back to it with a clearer head. You usually find that the writing is neither as bad as you feared, nor as perfect as you thought. Reality lies somewhere in between.
