Sink or Swim

I would have entitled this breathe or paper bag, but the last post was on breathing and I think I've got that down now.

I sent out chapter 1 and 2 drafts last week. 1 on Weds am and 2 on Saturday. I just got my edits back today. Chapter 1 isn't bad. It was a 10 minute fix. 

Chapter 2 is ugly. Really really ugly. It needs shaping, it needs some recalibration, it has over a dozen track changes and it's going to require me going back into the literature I based it off of for some additional information and positing a lot of things differently. I'm trying not to puke, cry or go near sharp objects.

I'm going to just keep swimming. Do what I have to and get this over with. Goal is to have a new draft in by tomorrow afternoon... And then either beach or pool time.
