Post-book GAH!!

[ksmith]

I am so far behind on house and outside stuff. I haven't mowed the lawn in 2 weeks--I think it's about 6-7 inches high. Tomorrow, I will do the front. I will then either do the back as well, or weed the front. Either way, lawn will be cut this weekend.

Burning bush on corner of the house needs major whackage. Weeding. Laundry. Vacuuming. Bake cookies. While I worked, King tore up a rope toy, so there are threads all over the living room. Today, I had to roust Gaby off my bed, so there is mud on the sheets. Change sheets. I want to plant some flowers, but that may need to wait until next week.

I can't do everything in one weekend.

I had the worst mashed potato craving. I grocery shopped, bought potatoes, sour cream, chives. Had mashed spud with leftover meatloaf that I goosed with RoTel tomatoes. Salad.

I don't have to write tonight.

I always liked the strategy of reclassifying one’s lawn as “meadow”, strewing wildflower seeds all over it, and never mowing...

I have so much clover in my backyard, it may as well be meadow...

You don't! You don't have to write because you're done!

I hope I don't have to do anything for a while. I'm kinda burnt out. Today was up at 130am and work straight through until 3pm. This book was written mostly in a 6 week long series of marathon sprints.

Yowch. That is extremely intense.

Gah?

I have been online only intermittently so does this mean something is complete? revised? whatever?

w00t!

Revised ms went to editor yesterday afternoon. I caught her just as she was leaving her office, so she may have printed it out to look at this weekend.

In this case, as in most cases with my books, "revised" means "extensively rewritten". I have concerns about one area, which may be worked over at the CE stage more than anyone likes.
