As they say in Wisconsin: Yippie-Skippy!
Feb. 9th, 2010 10:50 amThough today I mean "yippie-skippy" in its less ironic/sarcastic form, because last night at 9:00 pm, I finished the rough draft of RESURRECTION CODE.
As usual when I write "THE END" I'm nowhere really near being done-done. There's still some actual writing to do. I have to fill-in all the [find another example?]s and [restaurant name]s, etc. I also have to do whatever revisions my readers suggest, as well as write the news articles that appear between chapters. BUT, I finished a few days ahead of expectations, which means I have more time for all of that.
Whoot.
Mason seems to have survived parent involvement day without me. I only have a bit of residual guilt because I ended up skivving off from writing by having a lovely lunch date with my friend and fellow writer, Rachel Gold.
Well, speaking of all that, I must go do all those finishing touches bits, including printing out what I have so my partner can make sure I didn't put in any of the truly embarrasing spelling errors (earlier my spell checker had replaced "infidel" with "in-field" Very different.)
Also, in case people aren't checking over there, I've been dutifully answering the 22 questions about craft and business that a newbie writer sent Tate over on the tate hallaway blog.
Oh, and all my fish are alive and well.
