I was up until after midnight last night editing a ms for a client, and then awake at 5:00 a.m. to get ready for the day job. Those hours are normal, and they're killing me, so I'm having to regroup and reorganize. I'm in the process of figuring out how to manufacture time for myself.

It is amazing how much speedier, and easy it is to edit as you go. Give me a topic and I can go for it, but sometimes the muse goes on hiatus and it makes no matter what my writing instrument is..
