I can write first drafts easily following these guidelines. But to edit? Ah I'm so slow and so critical of my own work.

It's very true that we have lots of time wasters on our hands - and we need to cut them out and focus! I know God will hold us accountable for our use of time.

I've hardly written anything since then and really need to get back into it. When you have a plan and then just make the time regardless, it happens. It's amazing how all of those little bits add up.

Of course, then you have to factor in time for editing, revising and more editing. And I'm learning just how much time it takes to turn a manuscript into a published book. Like some intricate French pastry - what takes days, months, even years to produce can be consumed in mere hours. But what an experience :)Jeanette O'Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057798704247611224noreply@blogger.com
