Happy Hump-Day

Ah, it's Wednesday. Amidst the freezing ass cold and snow and the big spider I just eradicated, it's been an interesting day. Got the second half of edits back on one book from my editor. Still waiting on some beta's to weigh in, then it's a second revision, resubmit to the editor and hopefully only tweaks after that. Then there's another MS going off to beta this weekend. If all goes well with it, it might be done, too! Then I can get back to the highly anticipated (by me!) "Into Darkness" and "Thirteen Covens".

There's something really satisfying about finishing a project despite the fact that another one moves up immediately to fill its place. It's gratifying to know there are readers who are going to enjoy your stories and who anticipate them as much as you enjoy writing them. Not to mention, as a writer, after the third draft you start getting bored with what you're working on. It's a long road from first draft to done.

My editors have been very patient and helpful and gave me a lot of leeway over the holidays. It's nice to work with such wonderful folks.

On that note - maybe tonight I'll take the evening off and get some domestic stuff done. My kitchen could use a good cleaning, I could do some laundry, and then maybe I'll go to bed early and finish the book I'm reading.  When I'm in the final stages of completing manuscripts it's the domestic things that suffer...
