Little by little, day by day

Its all about being consistent, isn't it? I want to keep working on my novel revisions, but sometimes fear gets in my way. I wonder what will happen to these manuscripts. Once I send them to a publisher, the moment of truth will come. Either they'll be discovered and loved, or rejected time and time again. What does the future hold?

So long as I procrastinate on the revisions, I'll never have to find out. But is that what I really want? It surely seems by the way I've held off on getting the work done for months now.. maybe I do want to fail. The greatest failure, of course, is to do nothing. But a grain of hope lives inside me, pressing me onward with this work, forcing me to perservere. So again I take up the revision and make some progress, knowing this is the only way it will ever get done.
