Or, in my case...

Release the Internal Editor!

That's what I did today.

And, you know what? She was a very agreeable soul. Played well with others, too.

And, for once, she made me feel very, very good about being a writer.

I think that means I'm growing. I kinda suspicioned that while I was working on Out of the Darkness. I learned sooo much as I was plotting and growing and writing this novel.

I wanted the Muse to come out and play today, but she called in sick since I kept her up writing late last night and insisted that we finish Out of the Darkness before we could go to bed.

So, this morning, I edited instead of wrote. And, I edited at breaks. And, I edited at lunch.

And, for the first time since I stopped querying screenplays, I made a submission.

Today, I submitted Spilt Milk to Glimmer Train.

Many thanks to

bachsoprano for all of her helpful suggestions and all the encouragement she offered and to

devinharris for reading when I was done.

I feel like I have accomplished soooo MUCH in two days. I feel like I've accomplished soooo much in one month. If 2006 continues to be this productive, I shall be most content when I reach the end of the year.

I dragged Muse out, kicking and screaming, tonight, so we have words. Not many, but better than nothing.
