[LIST=1][*]We admit we are powerless against our WIPs—that they hold our muse—and our hard drives hostage.[*]We believe something greater than ourselves—the revision process and editing that comes with it—[I]can[/I] and [I]will[/I] restore our sanity.[*]We have made the choice to give our lives over to the care of our Muse.[*]We will cease extensively researching and move forward with the revision process so that our WIP will one day grace the desk of our dream agent.[*]We have admitted to ourselves, and our fellow writers, our flaws—and will make a conscious effort not to indulge our WIP obsession until we have made at least one submission.[*]We acknowledge that we are ready to move forward and tackle our enormous pile of WIPs—by focusing on them [I]one[/I] at a time.[*]We offer chocolate, caffeine, and other indulgent gifts to our muse in exchange for urging us onward toward our publication goal.[*]We have made a list of the WIPs being neglecting, and are now willing to make amends.[*]We will continue to move forward with our neglected WIPs, admitting freely when the urge to start another surfaces.[*]We will, through chocolate and coffee, improve our relationship with our muse, begging for her/his knowledge and guidance.[*]We will not make excuses.[*]We will, having had an awakening of epic proportions due to these steps, go forth and spread this message to all other WIPaholics.[/LIST]
