My Nervous Breakdown Part XXVII

I’ve had to put the Big Secret Project on hold for a bit.  That’s a bummer because I was really getting into it.  I get the opportunity to pitch my completed novel to an agent at the RWA meeting in a couple of weeks.  I say “completed” with a touch of hysteria in my voice.  The Sisters and I have done such an overhaul on this book that I’m sort of in a panic.  I’ve been up later than I should with a piece of poster board, 5 different colored sticky notes and the new synopsys.  My head is spinning and I want to cry.  I’m fully committed to the the changes that need to be made, but there are so many great lines and passages, whole freaking chapters that will land in the toilet.

I think I’m way too emotional to work on this now, but it must be done.  I need cupcakes.  With sprinkles.  And a straight jacket.
