Copyedits

Jul 12, 2007

The copy edits of A LICK OF FROST have gone out. Yea! Jon and I are both fried. I’m so tired that everything is funny or I keep getting weepy. The copy edits alone didn’t reduced me to this, but let’s just say it’s been an interesting week in that Chinese sort of way. You know the old saying, “May you live in interesting times.” It’s a curse, and a blessing, but mostly a curse. (How many people watch Mr. Monk?)
I could say this week has been a learning experience. That’s another way of saying that not everything went smoothly this week. I am praying that this weekend all of us are well. After two weeks in a row of one third of the family being poorly, it would be nice to all be well, or wellish. Jon still has a bit of cough, but the antibiotics have really helped. Let’s hear it for modern medicine.
I’m signing off now. We’re going to go to bed. A good night’s sleep will help. And what will really help is that the only priority for me tomorrow morning is the new Anita book, JASON. Yeah, letting that be the first thing my imagination rolls over in the morning, rather than copy edits will be a very good thing.
