SPAZZ: Editing

I just had a major spazz moment....

And it wasn't even to a request from a query (haven't send those out). I don't know what might happen if one of those ends up in my inbox. I might not be capable of typing a post, then. Heck, I was hardly capable of typing this post a minute ago because I do some really strange things when I'm really really really happy.

...Like the time I whole up the whole house at 3 AM when SAT scores  came out...

...oooor the time I found out I won a National Gold Medal for the Scholastic Art and Writing Award for a drawing of my good friend. I ran into the girls bathroom because I was laughing so hard that I had to pee and I ended up laughing in the stall, too, but that's okay because nobody was in the bathroom. At least I hope nobody was.

Now, I've just run 3 laps up and down the steps, done a bunch of jumping jacks, thrown myself on the couch, and laughed creepily. I really need to do something about the laughing. I don't think it's quite the right reaction of good news.

THE GIRL WITH THE GREEN PEN has agreed to help me crit my work! I had to send the dear dear Taryn samples of my writing because while I'm kind of in the situation of the POOR STUDENT, I knew the moment that I found her website that I would not hesitate to pay because I NEEDED HER WISDOM:

Because even though I'm the editor of the literary and art magazine at my school, I can't seem to do half as well a job on my own work.

Because I am a creature of momentum and editing kills my momentum and then I become majorly infected with a case of this is so bad! This needs surgery! I can't do surgery *shoves story into drawer*. 

That's what happened to MS #1.  Except I have a much better feeling about MS #2. Still, I don't quite trust myself to cut it open and not panic at the same time.

OK, so I really need to finish up my first pass now :D Tell me how you like to edit or if you prefer drafting to revising!
