I'm hard at work revising book seven in the Melvin Beederman series, The Brotherhood of the Traveling Underpants.  This is my second-favorite title in the series so far, behind The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich.  The book won't be out until 2009 and the illustrations aren't due until this summer, which gives you an idea of how long it takes to produce one of these books.  My editor gives me little line edits here and there, places where I can cut something or rephrase to make it smoother.  These are easy to deal with.  The tough spots are where it involves changing the character.  This is where I really need to put on my thinking cap and dive into the story.  It ain't easy, but do you know what helps?  Chocolate.

That's my recommendation for the day.  If you're digging into some serious revision, throw chocolate into the mix and see if that helps.  Greg
