Yup. The main reason The Trashy Porn Novel That Grew is still waiting to go out again is the usual screaming panic at sending That to Respectable Agents, but there is also the fact that even three years ago I knew that it could do with another revision pass on the first three chapters, but didn't have the distance from the text to do it -- and now I _really_ know just how badly that section needs revising, but haven't had time to do it.

(The problem is essentially that I started off thinking that I was writing a Trashy Porn Novel, and it was only when I was about three or four chapters in that I realised that if had Grown.)
