Three weeks later, and I’m coming up for air. Whew!

On the writing front, I’ve done the quick read-through, and am now working through the second draft changes. One thing that surprised me (even though it shouldn’t have) was how much work there still is to do on the book. When I had finished it, I was convinced it was almost perfect. Ha! Must have been the adrenaline from finishing the first draft that made me so blind.

So, good news, bad news. I get to fix all the mistakes, but now I’m behind schedule. I wanted to package up the story and deliver it to my beta-readers in January, and now I’m not so sure that’s going to happen.

Meanwhile, I’ve been looking over lulu.com as a fun way print out the story for my betas. None of them like reading a whole stack of papers, and I can print books without worrying about copyright issues (by making the project a private one). It’s cool.

My other work has also been keeping me busy, and January is a whirlwind of a month coming up. I hope I’ll find the time I need, or at least some writing fairies who will work for cheap.
