BellaOnline Forums Career Writing for Children Writing is re-writing

I've decided to revamp my children's middle grade novel manuscript to see if I can get it into a chapter book.

You will. I know that writing is re-writing for sure. I don't know how many hours I've spent writing and re-writing my first novel now working on the second and the writing and re-writing continues.

I think the hard part is knowing when to stop revising and just say, "DONE!" Sometimes I want to keep revising and not stop.

I do get that. I have to call it quits. No more editing! I figured out my perfectionism is all in the wording, pacing...ugh!
