Revision decision

Hello to my new blogger and crusader buddies. I will be visiting soon.

So, I'm working hard on my revisions. I decided to go back and change the direction of my story which meant I needed to write in two chapters, cut two, and seriously consider cutting more (which also needs to be done to my beginning, but that's for the next round.) I do need to delete some things, and tweak chapters that have been revised, but this new direction re-writes the end. Yeah, so-- testing my patience, but I think it might be good. I hope. Once I write this second ending, I'm hoping my CPs will want to read it. I feel super bad making them read it again, but I can't decide. My feeling is the new way is the way it should go, but how can I be sure?

The other problem I'm having is my new stuff. I'm lovin' my new ideas. I can't wait to write them (the MCs keep showing themselves to me.) I keep writing scenes totally out of order as they come to me. I have outlines, but revisions keep distracting me.

Does anyone have this problem? Can't put your full self into new projects because your revisions are blocking you.

Any advice on this?

I should be thankful that I have lots of ideas. I just need to focus on getting one thing done. Hopefully, I'll get to get some writing done today. I'm going out to write. That's right not my normal, sneak it in while the little guy sleeps. Should be interesting and fun.

Have a wonderful weekend!
