Waiting

Baby hasn't come yet (groan) and I can't stop thinking about the manuscript. As I said in a previous post, no manuscript is perfect and all I can think about are the mistakes I made.

I know of at least one (admittedly small) error I missed: adding an apostrophe where I shouldn't have. And I have some doubts about one or two scenes. They might be too long or give away too much information. The book might be too long or the plot too complicated.

Once the baby gets here, I'm sure I'll be able to stop fussing over these things--at least until I get feedback from editors telling me what I did wrong ;)

But that's months away. What's a super-pregers writer to do?

Well, this one is going to get a pedicure this afternoon and forget her worries in a big bowl of fresh watermelon. Ha!

At Last

I DID IT!

The manuscript is in Stan's capable hands and my baby could come any day. Talk about cutting it close!

I'm so relieved I'm actually as a loss for words. I'll update when I have more to say.

:D
