All you writers out there will understand me completely. Last night I finished up a manuscript and sent it off to the editor. Now, this is not a BIG manuscript, and it probably isn't an IMPORTANT manuscript, but ... now that it is sent off (to one of my fellow sisters, mind you), it is torturing me. Why did I send it as soon as it was done? Why didn't I wait a few days? Because now all the things it still needed are haunting me, and I, in turn, am haunting the editor with successive e-mails like "revised!" or "more."

Sound like some faith is in order here. Really . . no puns intended. I live by the rule that "there is always another way." So . . . when the response comes from your editor -- rewrite. Don't be anxious -- be trusting. And don't be worried -- be expecting. It's Biblical. Consider the lilies.
Yes, oh me of little faith. But I'm not worried about what the editor will say; I'm worried about what the editor will MISS!!!
Sister, i am like you at times. For Englsih class we a re writting things, journals, OP's, reading Jorunals, and so on and I am always worried that she will not liek it, that i will get an F on teh paper or it didn't get enough info and so on. The school year is almost over and I still have to write my OP that is due on the 22nd of April. But I'm not sure what to write about. She always says write about something you passionate about ans so on. But the only thing I am highly interested in is Religious life. What do you think i should write about??? God Bless!!!!!
well, i don't like writing anything at all!!! part of my job is write an intelligence report, and trust me! you don't want to do it.
The coment was abit confuseing by someone, I love to write but the hardest thing is to come up with a topic. Last year I struggled with poems alot, and it took me about 24 hrs to come up with a 10 line poem and it sounded good, the poem was about Angles comming to bring someone home to God, it was read at my gradnmothers funeral in April for last year. But before that, I was never confident on my writting until now!!!!
