I'm sure I've been down this road more than once, and with the same novel, but whereas the last edit, which was probably the second or third, finished up in the pile, then forgotten.
I'm doing an active update to all my works in progress, and sending them to the editor, after going through the manuscript once again, with a view to publishing. Hopefully, before the year is out.
...
Today went well, the book is now almost editing itself, such is the benefit of outlining.
I'm almost sold on the planning idea, but that will sort itself out next time.
The way the story is running, and the additions I have made so far, the story is going to be longer than anticipated.
I've just seen a glaring plot hole and will be working to fix that, and then, that opens a can of worms because the ending is now a choice of three.
This is the trouble with rereading and changing and not being satisfied and letting editors tell you what needs to be fixed when nothing really needs to be fixed in the first place.
Damn, it's just the editing jitters kicking in.
It's time to get back to the current project and finish it.
