How cool that you're putting them out there and then checking back in about how they've gone. It's interesting for me to see what you're up to, and probably a good tool for yourself to see where you need to put more or less focus going forward. I love it.<br /><br />Also - I am still flitting back and forth (y'know, just in general), and have cut way back on my internet time, but even though I haven't been so good with the commenting I am really enjoying your quest series!! <br /><br />Basically what I'm saying is keep being awesome, friend..jessica.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02724052361769518376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-71418258485504387762012-09-05T12:40:48.825-04:002012-09-05T12:40:48.825-04:00To all: Thanks to each of you for the comments! ...To all: Thanks to each of you for the comments! I apologize that I've been a little busy this week and haven't had much time to do much blog visiting. But I'll be sure and pop in on your blogs ASAP, though!<br /><br />@mmshaunakelley: Thanks! I guess I'm too much of a perfectionist -- I was shooting for an A+, lol!<br /><br />@L.G.: You're right. Getting revisions done means that finished work is getting subbed, and that's very importatnt to me. Thanks for the kind words of support!<br /><br />@Elise: Back-to-school is always a hactic time. Hang in there, and good luck with September to you, too!<br /><br />@Alex: Thanks! I do tend to grade hard, lol!<br /><br />@Nicole: I appreciate that. And while I alway hope for 100% completion, I do set the bar a little high, so that I'm more likely to get at least <i>something</i> done, lol!<br /><br />@Susan: Thank you! And with the pub I'm working with, their on-line submission site is also used for resubs, and the whole systm is currently off-line with submissions closed. I have also e-mailed the editor I was dealing with, but even in the worst case, they do tend to reopen pretty regularly, so it shouldn't be too long either way.<br /><br />@Donna: Thank you very much! And I hear you: it is hard to stay on top of all the blogging/visiting I want to do, too -- this week's especially busy.<br /><br />@Tonja: Thanks! And much luck and support to you on that novel!<br /><br />@Suze: Sometimes it's very hard to decide, and the edge is only by the slimmest of margins. When it comes down to a draw, I tend to ask myself, "which one would I FIRST want to pick up and finish reading?" And thanks for the wishes of support!<br /><br />@Simon: Thanks! I really appreciate it!<br /><br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-88354430940258096702012-09-05T08:49:25.766-04:002012-09-05T08:49:25.766-04:00That seems like a pretty good result to me.

Technically, yours isn't a "new" submission; it's a follow-up on a revision they already requested. At any rate, you sure set the bar high for yourself, but you're doing a great job jumping over it.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-16253680132583572682012-09-03T21:38:11.737-04:002012-09-03T21:38:11.737-04:00Awesome progress!

I know what you mean about wanting to produce new writing though. I'm mired in revisions and feel bad I'm not writing as much new stuff as I'd like. Still, revisions must be done too.<br /><br />Good luck with your writing in September!L.G.
