It’s off! The Ginormous Manuscript Package is in the mail to Jennifer, and… boy am I vacant. Head colds are no fun. Okay. *stares around brainlessly* Okay, I think my plan is to go nap for 90 minutes or so, get up and eat something, and write another 2K. Then… well. Then typing in edits on HoS, if my brain can handle it. Dropped some fudge by the comic shop, where only Christopher was working. Nobody else showed up today. He looked a little frazzled, but delighted about the fudge.…

woot!
Off to a fine start this morning. I got up, almost despite myself, at about a quarter to six or so, took a really long shower, put the dog out and admired the two new inches of snow, then sat down and wrote 2000 words. Wow, go me! So here it is 8:30 in the morning and I’m halfway to my daily writing goal! Pretty good for somebody with a cold in her head!
whew.
Whew. We got more Christmas shopping done today, and I edited HEART OF STONE. It’s actually in better shape than I expected it to be. I don’t think I can face typing edits in tonight, ’cause it’s too brain-numbing, but maybe tomorrow afternoon. I also read THUNDERBIRD FALLS yesterday, and to my relief there’s a story there, so I just have to sit down and work on it.

We got some Christmas shopping done (yay us!) and went to Office Depot to buy ALL THE PAPER IN THE WORLD, which I have used to print out the nearly-1000 pages of text today. We also bought a more studly 3-hole punch than the ones we currently own, because hey, tax writeoff! And also useful for putting scripts together. It’s really…
ye gods.
Ye gods. I have just put together a 785 page package to send to Jennifer. For those of you who ever might need to know: the 8 5/8thx11.25×4 inch mailing boxes that you can buy at Office Depot will hold 800 pages of manuscript. Well, they’ll hold 785; I’m taking the other 15 pages on faith. This thing weighs a *ton*. And it’s only two books! I need to do some rewrites on the third one before I send it! Ye gods! Ye gods and little *fishes*. If I ever…
