First of all, a big hug to everyone who made me feel better about kicking off a few burdens last week. Whew! I'm relieved.
Second of all, the LDS Storymaker's conference is almost here!!! I can hardly wait to kick back with my good friend M. Gray (who I've never met)!
And finally, my editor says I have probably just one more revision before we go to copy edits.
Sweet relief! There were times when we were revising my novel that I felt for certain WiDo was going to cancel the contract. No one ever said this, but sometimes I was afraid they were thinking, "The book requires too many changes, this author isn't easy to work with, this really isn't that good at all, what were we thinking offering a contract?" So for me, it's like, finally. We are in the final stretch. I can't wait until I turn in that last revision, when my editor says, "It's ready!"
I cannot wait to be done. I cannot wait to tell you all, "The book is at the press!"

I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better. :) Good luck in that final stretch and I can't wait to see your book. :)
You'll love Mary Gray. When my daughter and I drove up to Northern Virginia, an hour and a half drive for us, we met her at her house. She is absolutely the most gracious and interesting person. And congrats on your book!! I'm looking forward to reading it.
