God, I'm depressed.

[panik]

One, just one, of the many things I have to do today is re-write the first two chapters of my book and send it out to new agents.

The agency I approached first don't want it; one of their criticisms is that it's set in the recent past, so I'm taking out anything that points to it being a few years ago (nothing in Cuba has really changed since I made this trip so it's not really a biggie), leaving the time-frame ambiguous and trying again with three new agencies.

In total, I had to ditch three paragraphs. A simple enough task.

But now, everytime I read it through, to make sure it all still flows together, I come across something else that is just B.A.D. I've written and re-written and re-re-written and now I'm utterly convinced that the whole thing is a big, steaming pile of stinking poo. Or is it? I don;t know. I have no perspective on it at all anymore.

Man...

It's now 13.05. This is all I've done today and I'm no closer to completion  than I was at 8.00 this morning.

Shit.

I'm having a bad, bad day.
