Done…again

(at least as much as any writer can be “done” tinkering around with her masterpiece)

Yes, I finished my latest round of polishing! The manuscript is being copied at Kinko’s as I type this, all 352 pages, 68,300+ words of it. (I’m not saying every word is a jewel, but it is something to see this 2 inch stack of paper filled with words that I wrote.) This evening I’ll ship the ms off to the two agents who requested it and we’ll see what happens.

I guess it’s time to dust off that scrap of paper I used to outline novel #2 on — one year and one week ago today. But first, I’m going to enjoy a bit of sleep. And maybe some booze.

I’ll be back to the regularly scheduled program in the next few days!

Susan

    Hooray!!!! Congratulation, Susan. I remember exactly how it felt to slip the 2-inch thick manuscript into the mail. What a great feeling of accomplishment. I’m sending you all sorts of good-luck vibes :-)
