The last two months have had the same ugly routine; baby up all hours of the night and up for good at 3:00 a.m. Once in a while stretching it to 3:30 or even 4:30, but not often. Really looking forward to this stage ending.

So, while I’m totally frustrated with the current parenting stage I thought I’d pull out 7 Steps On The Writer’s Path and see what writer stage I’m in. Not sure yet, but I do know I’m in the final stages of edits on TGB. It’s been really, really difficult and slow going. I put in a change and it’s all wrong and I take it out. I try to reword something and can’t for the life of me find another way to say it that isn’t worse. Not saying I achieved perfection and it can’t be improved on, just that I’ve hit the wall and while perfection is far in the distance “better than this” seems equally out of reach.

Which means maybe I’m done. If it really is the best I can do at this time, that’s it.
