My revision process

Call me crazy, but I don't go back and revise a book manuscript until I've written an entirely new book.

Revision is the hardest part of the process for me, mainly, I think, because I get so married to what I've written. I find I can't really come back to a manuscript and give it the treatment it deserves until I've almost completely purged the thought process that brought it to me from my head. For me, that entails writing a new book.

For me, it's so much easier to approach an older manuscript...
