I have just returned the copy-edits/rewrites for the Pagan Pregnancy book. Go me! Finished in under a day, with a minimum of trauma and angst! Okay, that may have been because I let the suggestions and questions and deletions brew in my subconscious for a week… but whatever and however, it is done and I am awesome.
For the first time in a while I feel like I actually did some work, as if I accomplished something. I’m having so much trouble settling into the hearthcraft book — it doesn’t feel coherent or cohesive yet, and every time I sit down to work at it feels like a struggle — so this was a relief. I never thought I’d see the day where I thought handling copy-edits for a book I’d written were a relief.
The next time I see this should be when the Fed Ex delivery person hands me the box of page proofs.
Even though it seems to be a struggle for you, your wordcount updates would suggest that you’re making good progress on the book.
Congrats on getting your copyedits and rewrites done! There should be a treat in your near future as a reward. :)
That’s one of the reasons I do the updates: so I can look at them and see that it is getting done, albeit one grain of sand at a time.
The problem is, I can see how big the final hill of sand has to be, and also the fancy sandcastle-y shape it has to be in, as well as the date upon which this sandcastle must miraculously be complete. The teeny pile of sand I currently have is disheartening when compared with all of these.
congrats on getting all your copy-edits/rewrites finished!!! YAY! Time to spoil
yourself!
Once again, I am in awe of your awesomeness.
Congratulations!
revel in the awesome!
Congratulations!
Don’t worry about the new book (bird-by-bird, and all that + I KNOW you will do yet another bang-up job.
Now, treat yourself for a job well-done on the Pagan Pregnancy book, because I have a grand feeling that this one is going to be your biggest success!
