What is it about telling your editor you'll send her a manuscript that you just know is completely polished, but then later that day, you suddenly feel compelled to start dinking around with it, revising (AGAIN)? And suddenly it's midnight, and you're wondering, what about that one scene? I could do a lot more showing vs. telling there, come to think of it. And maybe I should judiciously sprinkle in another 10-12 metaphors throughout the book, you know, for color. And...

And so here I am: it's 12:30 a.m., and I can't sleep, and I just thought of yet another thing to tinker with! Because a book is never perfect. Ever. And somehow, it feels like it should be!
