thank ya! i used to really hate the revision process, but the more i write these days, the less i'm concerned with how it ends. so many of my stories thus far have gone WAY sideways and, weirdly, ended up being better than my original intent thanks to just letting my brain tell my fingers what to do while i stepped out of my own way.

good luck with your own stuff! it's daunting for sure, especially if you're doing novel work. don't get discouraged!
