IT IS DONE.

Phew! The Dread' Koala will be pleased with me this month. I have mailed off my latest manuscript to my agent and am now mercilessly strangling my anxiety celebrating with a bag of Easter candy.

Everyone please wish my big-boned (i.e. 99,000 word) baby luck!

Awesome! Do we have to wait still till both are published to get to read either?

PS I loved that article about making silver bullets, the author is one of my favorite.

Who knew that making silver bullets would be so hard, but the idea of silver Buckshot should sent werewolves screaming for the hills.

Oooo! Koala approval up the wazoo. Much better than the claw. And your agent might like it, too. Bonus.

Scott, FairyHedgehog and Eric: Thank you! Your kind wishes are much appreciated (because they help kill the nervous butterflies that keep buzzing my mid-section.)

Sarf: Yes, you still have to wait until they're published. But thanks for your continued enthusiasm in the face of my bashfulness. :)

Glad you liked the article! I would have stopped after buckshot, too. That was quite the process they went through.

Sarah: Hee! Yes, it's best to keep one's priorities straight. Evisceration >> Editorial suggestions.

Congratulations and many happy dances, JJ!!!

I shall keep my fingers and toes crossed in your general direction.

Maureen said...

Well! I certainly hope you're proud of yourself this time, young lady!!

(Because the rest of us certainly are!)

HUGS and KUDOS, JJ!!

P.S. I'm casting a "butterfly begone" spell for you as we speak.

Merry: Thank you! I'll take all the minor-appendage-knottage I can get.

Maureen: Thanks for the spell--now the butterflies are fluttering around my nose. A definite improvement! ;-D

McKoala: *preen*

Whirlochre: 'Great' is the right word. Weighed a ton; cost a mint to mail it.
