I got to watch five kids today! Two nieces, one nephew, and two sons. They play super well together...but I am exhausted, and have nothing but respect for mothers who watch five (or more) kids every day. I can't imagine a harder job!
Speaking of jobs, I'm currently rewriting key points in the middle of my first manuscript (Swindle Witch) based off of some excellent critiques. I have had fits with the middle, but I think I've finally figured it out. It's all about world building and info dumping, and I struggled because--well, it was my first novel, and my first fantasy story in a really, really long time. I'm excited about the changes I'm making now, though--I think they'll make my middle chapters as strong as my start, and strengthen the ending as well. Yay for revision!
Great job on working on your novel. I find that it is hard to rewrite because I don't like going over things again but that is what must be done :)
