Wait angsty and doubtiness aren't words???

Not according to Firefox. It puts those red dots under them. I guess Firefox hasn't met the Hellhounds.

Woo hoo, Snappy and partner.

My publisher informed me that Lizzie is progressing quicker than expected as should be out (print and ebook) by the end of November.

2011.

Yowza!

Wow! I had no idea it was possible for a publisher to move that fast!

I sent off my final proof pages to the publisher. It's terrible seeing the book in book form. Terrible! I knew I could only do light changes at this point but I wanted to rewrite whole scenes.

However, it's done. Progress. Woot.

Mercy, I know that feeling from my day job -- it looks so different and you really want to rewrite, but you can't.

BUT THIS IS AWESOME. Congrats.

Yay, Mercy! I used to draw a lot, and I still hate looking at my work hanging on the wall at my parents' house because all I can see are the flaws. But that's not what everyone else sees, you know?

If anyone's been curious about my book, Venture Untamed, I'm doing a facebook giveaway here: http://www.facebook.com/TheVentureBooks.
