Revisions and Pseudonyms

I haven't written in a long time. We had a death in the family and I just couldn't bring myself to do any writing. This week, however, as I lay in bed with the flu (swine flu?), I kept my laptop on my lap and my fingers racing over the keyboard. So I'm happy to say that not only did I get through my entire novel and revised for plot, I also revised the title to something I absolutely love, and I came up with a pseudonym that makes sense! Now, off to revising for details, dialog, characterization, and all the other revision techniques recommended by Renni Browne and Dave King in their book, Self-Editing for Fiction writers. Another excellent book I couldn't put down was Manuscript Makeover by Elizabeth Lyon. Two great books for revisions. Now, all I have to do is apply the several dozen techniques and I'll be set. Maybe I'll be done in this lifetime. :)
