Adam Selzer: King of the Wild Frontier - Revisions

Deep into revisions of "Pirates of the Retail Wasteland" now - I know that some authors hate doing revisions, and dread getting that revision letter from the editor. I dread the letter a bit, too (what if they say the whole thing sucks?), but I like the process. It's a last chance to make this chunk of pages into a better book.

The other night I had a dream that the book came out in its current, mid-revision form, when I have so much left that I want to do with it. Waking up from that dream felt like Scrooge waking up on Christmas morning with another chance to make things right.

I'll take a few days off the revision this weekend to work a bit on finalizing a proposal for a nonfiction book (hope to have some news about that soon).
