I have some practical suggestions for renovating WIPs: first, keep files of multiple drafts so you can go back if you want, and second, I always create a "hold" file for a project. Then when I delete, I drop things into the hold file. Rarely do I go back and use these bits, but it sure makes me feel better when I'm deleting!Charlotte Rains Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12657052065864065323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930358664981152962.post-51088097674709851812013-06-05T09:52:06.495-04:002013-06-05T09:52:06.495-04:00Thanks, Lara!

I'm no where near that yet. Cross your fingers. ; )<br /><br />BTW, the green is the color of new Yoshino cherry leaves. The darker green I used as accent in both the study and the bath is the mature Yoshino leaves. Let's just say, I *love* cherry trees. Though, I didn't realize I matched until after we painted. ; )Zan Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13403563510118660546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930358664981152962.post-78937756492753189062013-06-04T10:12:26.311-04:002013-06-04T10:12:26.311-04:00Lovely new kitchen.

I've only gone through one content edit, but once I saw what it would entail I made a conscious decision to put aside my uncertainty and trust my editor's years of experience (and all the good books that had passed through her hands). I wasn't halfway through that five week stint before I knew she'd been dead on in the changes she requested. It was intense, but it was well worth it.

The TBI survivor's book I edited was more of a episodic short stories that gradually culminated into a conclusion and that works well for your topic too.
