Manuscript is in the mail

I mailed my book manuscript today to the editor who's been expressing interest.  I think it could stand to be another 5000 words longer, but it's close enough – check out that word count meter, people! – that I decided it was better to mail it on deadline than to hem and haw for another few weeks while fine-tuning the shorter chapters.  Surely it would not be a good precedent to set for myself by dawdling on deadlines when the editor (...and outside readers?) understand that things will need to be tweaked anyway.

I hope they like it.  :O

P.S. to Dr. Crazy: You and I totally need to hit some concerts together.  I'm in for half the gas money.  :D
