This must fall under dejection, since there's been no rejections as of yet. Either that or lack of brass ones. I finished one of my novels three months ago, including rewrites, edits, whole chapters scrapped, beta readers, changes.
It's been passed around the gym I work at (in fact, I can't get it back). Good reports, a few things in need of polish, simple stuff, dropped words and such. But everytime I sit down to write that synopsis and queries, I can't. I work on the other books, I turn on the tv, I get in the pool.
I don't know why but I seem to be derailing myself. I keep saying one more edit, one more polish. Is it possible to over edit or rewrite too much, like a painting you keep touching up?
