The end is in sight
After a most delicious holiday dinner (the leftovers were put
in a Tupperware dish and will form my lunch today), Lyndon did the dishes while
I returned to the fine-tooth-comb edit. And boy, I'm glad I did this because
otherwise there would have been some howlers come publishing time (paragraphs
that simply didn't flow into the next, a couple of misspelled names and one
rather pertinent costume change that didn't show up in a later scene. Erk).
30 more pages to go tonight, then it's burned onto a CD and sent with the contracts
back to Arkansas.
And then I return to the novel and my S&S 22 submission (which will be the second Roche and Berreville adventure, currently titled "The Royal Bloodhounds." Although considering the title of the novella, I may look around for the name of an appropriate piece of music). And then I have aNOTHER short story to do, and I need to get back to work on Undercover Godmother.
Remember what I said about writers not having days off? That. And yet I wouldn't give it up for anything -- it's just too damn much fun.
