lydamorehouse I am deep in revisions (again? Still?) but I thought I'd poke my head above water to check-in.
I'm not sure if I even remembered to report that I'd finished a draft of the book? Yeah, that happened right before my birthday, November 18. I sent it off to a couple of beta readers right after that in an insane hope that I'd have time during Thanksgiving break to work on the revisions. In a surprise to no one but me, I never cracked those documents open, not once. I mean, sure I could have forgone puzzling or playing 500 games of Boggle, but I see the people who come for Thanksgiving once a year. I wanted to spend time with them. We, in fact, had a lovely meal and days and days of delightful company. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
So, here it is the Monday after a week-long vacation and I'm finally sitting down to get started. I don't think it's going to be too bad a process although I wrote myself a note that simply reads, EMOTIONALLY CONSISTANT.
Which, you know, is very fiddly.
Anyway, I knowsabotabby has had a rough time of it, but how are the rest of you? My American friends, how was your turkey day? My non-Americans, how was last Thursday? Do anything special?

Date: 2023-11-28 12:12 am (UTC)I skipped actual Thanksgiving because I was feeling deeply unsociable, but visited some friends afterward. It was really fun. They have a dog who looks like a muppet and a 1930s house with a letter-drop; their daughter dropped a drawing signed by her and the dog down a shaft upstairs, and it fell out of a slot in the guest bedroom so I had mail when I woke up!
