The same way, I keep thinking, fear still circles me whenever I’m revising, while I’m staring at my laptop and my still-broken manuscript is staring back at me.
Yet fear is what I keep circling back to as I work on finding a focus for this post. From the vastness of the blank page to the query trenches to the submission process-being scared doesn’t fit with any of that. This fear is the very opposite of the fearlessness I’ve always been told to aim for if I want to stay in publishing. Because how can I possibly have something insightful to add when I believe revision is very much an individual process, so what works for me is useless to any other writer? When I think the skill can’t really be taught as much as it’s simply learned, the way we have to learn certain survival skills-desperately, forcibly, likely with lots of tears? When revising my own work still fills me with fear, and half the time I’m sure everything I get right only means I was lucky enough to not get it wrong? “ Clever suspense-here, stalking is a two-way street.I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve started, deleted, and restarted this post about revision.
