At long last

The new novel is signed, sealed and delivered.

CaroGirl · Nov 20, 2009

Oh, I'm so glad that having coffee with me wasn't, in fact, the cause of your blown deadline in August.

Congratulations on delivering your big, beautiful baby!! You didn't even need an episiotomy (did you!?).

I can't wait until I can have my very own copy in my hot little hands!

ORION · Nov 20, 2009

Way to go!!!!!

KTC · Nov 20, 2009

YES, YES, YES! I read The World More Full of Weeping last week...and again mid-week. It's fantastic. I'm so glad you FINALLY got the novel off your desk.

Congrats!

How much longer do we have to wait now?

Congratulations! Isn't it jarring NOT to have a project like that hanging over your head anymore?

Kudos to you!

So, what's next?

Chumplet · Nov 20, 2009

Just reading that made a weight lift off my head. It must feel so good to deliver something you've been working on for so long.

It also makes me realize how far I have yet to go.

Congratulations.

Thanks, y'all -- it IS a good feeling. And weird to not sit down at the computer and just put half an hour in...

So, what's next?

Well, revising a short story. Writing a short story (a Christmas ghost story, to be serialized on-line in December). A handful of book reviews.

That's the next ten days.

Then editorial work. Intense editorial work -- they've got the book scheduled for next fall, so time is of the essence.

The next novel in Q1 of 2010. The one after that over Q2-4, around the publication of this one.

So it goes...
