I turned the PRETENDER’S CROWN revisions in about 90 minutes ago. The manuscript came in at 684 pages, which means…/bigferret came in closest with a guess of 671 pages. If you want to email me your snailmail address, sometime in April (hopefully) I’ll send you a copy of the book. :) I’m taking tomorrow off, because I just cannot face going into another set of revisions immediately.

It’s possible I’ve now used up all my energies, but at least it was a very productive morning. :) Next I’m going to rotate laundry, re-print the PRETENDER’S CROWN manuscript and send the corrections I’ve made to the short…
final revision pass
Off to an earlier start today. I have a whiny kitty on my lap (well, now he’s purring; he was whining earlier), and I need breakfast, but I want to get one chapter done before I eat. Mind you, this will be ‘breakfast’ at 11:15am. It’s not exactly an *early* start. Just much earlier than yesterday. But I did my pilates and went for a little walk, at least! :)
