Does this make me look fat?
Revising is a little like shopping for new clothing or glasses, which I did several times this week and last. You try things on. You see how something looks. How it feels. A little too loose? A little too tight? Too long? Too in your face? Too ... PINK? Is this really me, or am I trying too hard?
You walk to a new stack and start over.
You can spend too long. Finally, you have to say, "Okay, this is the best I can do," and hand over the credit card. Yet still, sometimes, you get home and you realize you didn't get it right. (For instance, I can't stand my new glasses.)
I'm so ready to hand over the credit card, but I'm still just not quite sure whether my story makes my butt look fat.

Haven't seen your new glasses, but if you got them at Lenscrafters, don't they have a guarantee that if you aren't happy they'll give you another pair? I'd go for that. I had a pair I didn't like one year, but they were from my regular eye doctor who does not have that guarantee, so I had to live with them. I love the pair I got last year enough that I am sticking with them until they fall apart. Favorite pair I've ever had.
Ha! Well said!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
That's all :)
Yeah, you know I had the pair I was replacing FOUR years almost?!?! And people still tell me they like them frequently. I was sad to give them up.
Got me a replacement pair for the ones I hated Monday. Still don't like them as much as the old, old ones, but they'll do.
Thanks, Carleen and Lisa. It's nice to make people laugh here considering how depressing (with a hopeful burst at the end) the bulk of my writing is. Heh.
