Anatomy of a Revision

Here, so far, is my diary of the progress I've made on editing Knife:

Chapter One: Ooh, this is good. I'm really good. I'm a genius! Go me! At this rate, I'll be finished in no time.

Chapter Two: Hm. Well, it seems all right. Next...

Chapter Three: Wah! I am so lame! My writing is as dross! *weeps into teacup* I'll never be able to do this, never, never...

Repeat cycle as necessary until book is finished.
