Where was I?
Saturday, February 9th, 2008 06:49 pmOh, right.
Yesterday was Friday. We handed in the revisions to Duainfey at a couple minutes shy of 5 o'clock EST. And in this morning's email, there was a note from our editor, saying that we have fulfilled our mission. This is when I love the internet -- and a speed-reading editor, too, yessir.
This morning, we arose early in the minus-single-digits(F), went out into the delicate blue-and-pink morning, motored through the misty curtains of ice-fog, and sat down to breakfast at the South Side Diner. After breaking our fast, we achieved long-overdue haircuts, picked up prescriptions and other needed things at the drugstore, came home to find the Boskone schedule, and more or less got to work.
It's ridiculous how hard it is to remember that today is Saturday. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Oh! And in a completely unlooked-for development, we're expecting snow, total accumulation 4-8 inches. We start watching the skies...now, in fact, and expect to be off-watch around 10 p.m. tomorrow.
Everybody keep warm.
Progress on Longeye:
33575 / 100000 words.
34% done!

Date: 2008-02-10 02:33 pm (UTC)Might be a few days on this. What we handed in and had accepted was a rewrite to editorial direction. Now, it goes to the copy editor, who will doubtless have continuity and other suchlike questions. After all those are resolved, then there are A(dvance) R(eading) C(opies), and! in September! a book!
Have a great time at Boskone, and we'll keep the Saltation fires hopping!
Thanks!
