valarltd: (editing hell)

I must be at the Transition phase of labor. I'm exhausted. I can't go on. I'm not progressing. This is never going to be over. Just let me give up and go home...

Birth? no. Book? yep.
Birth pangs for Alive on the Inside

I've hunted out the "was verbing" constructions.
I've deleted endless adverbs (we were bordering on Rowling levels of abuse)

Now, I'm on the final hard-edit read through and my brain is toasty. I can't get past page 11.

Push!
Push!

The D-Man Checks In: Last I checked, being in labour never had a time-out option. Baby's gonna come when baby is ready, whenever & wherever that is. I defy & dare you to try holding it in!

As to the edit... Might I seriously suggest a time-out there. Trying to work on a half-baked/toasted brain tends to render half-baked results that you might be ashamed to call your own later down the line. Quality is worth waiting for. Few things are worth frying your brain over.
