All together now...breathe in...hold it...hold it...exhale slowly. Yee ha! I've finished the revisions for Armadillo Season. I cut about 4k words and one whole character's plotline and I have to say it's much better, more focused and tighter. When I'm doing revisions, it's pretty hard to actually do anything else - any free moment I want to work on the MS. The timing is good, because there is a new CSI on tonight, and I can now watch it unencumbered. That would be the original, fabulous Las Vegas CSI, not the lame one with that red-headed guy who is so intensely irritating.
Now it's marinating season. I have to sit on it a bit and take a fresh look at it in a little while to make sure the scars don't show before I send it back to Agent E for her eagle eye to peruse. I had to get rid of some of my favorite bits, but I think the book is much better for it. Whew.
On this date: In 1995, Timothy McVeigh bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.

yay!! What a great feeling, eh?
There's no better way to celebrate than with a fantastic new episode of CSI. Unfortunately I missed it last night because of all the hockey fanatics in our house. They insisted that the playoffs were more important.
But yay for your finished revisions! Good luck!
Congratulations! That was pretty darn fast...it seems to me.
And being a baker rather than a griller, I call those rest periods "risings". I love to have enough time to set the mss aside and let it rise one more time before I knead it into submission. ;-)
