Revisions Ad Nauseum

Remember when I said it takes at least several times through a novel, to accomplish a good revision? How about twenty-five times?! I'm still not finished. When I write the first draft, I apparently don't notice the weather, or time passing, so these elements were not part of that rough manuscript. I knew I'd have to add description, the five senses, and more emotional words and phrases, but something as simple as time did not cross my mind. That means I need to be a better re-writer than writer. It also means that it's not over 'til it's over. Anything less than as-perfect-as-you-can-make-it, the story isn't yet complete. Time consuming? Yes. Worth it? A resounding yes!
