Okay, so I finally got under 40 books to revise, and I finished Alwine's travel journal, along with Madness (my novella). Now, let's see if I can prevent myself from undergoing madness for the rest of the process. (Now I know how Julie Powell felt while she was blogging and cooking Julia Childs's recipes.) I have yet to start books 103 and 104, but I am still really gung-ho about finishing the others first.
Earlier today, I found most of my poems from my second book of poetry published on Amazon, A View of Dreams, on an old floppy disk from a few years ago. I copied and pasted the portion that was available and sent it to myself. This way, I can go on amazon and revise it. The only problem is that I have to re-type the missing poems (and I may not feel like doing so for a good, long time). I think I might have to hold off on that one, and Opening the Doors as well, because I do not want to lose my page on amazon.
I know that I am at the point of loathing, regarding revising these books, but the sooner I get it done, the sooner the process will be off my mind. And I will never have to do it again, unless a regular publishing company gives me incentive some day. Then, I will go back and revise Madness, Reach up for the Sunrise, and A Year in the Life of Emelie Jones. For royalties, which can help pay off our mortgage, I will gladly pull out the remaining strands of my hair to revise these books! :)
