Revision Theme

I'm all the way through to the equivalent of Chapter 14 on my novel now, and still feeling a heady rush of excitement as I go. I've noticed how the earliest chapters in the story seem to need more revision than the later ones. I think that's because the later ones were written less than a year ago, while some of the earlier ones were written back in 2002. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Anyway, as I revise, I keep playing the same music CD: Burlap to Cashmere's 1998 album, Anybody Out There?. There's just something about the music that I like to have playing in the background as I revise.

I've thought of changing gears, switching CDs or something, but the same one keeps winding up in the player. It's all good though, because I'm on Chapter 14, after all.
