Not-so-RBOC: Did I finish?

  • I just finished writing the book. I think. I tied up the last page of the last bit reasonably well, I think. I think. Now there will be no more new words to add, but only the proofreading to do. I think.
  • I am so, so ready for this work to be completed. As I've gotten close to deadline, I have found myself grinding my teeth as a nervous habit while I work. The gums around the molars of my lower left jaw are aching.
  • I think I have finished in no small part because, as I ended the last paragraph, I had a feeling of 'Gee, now it all comes together!' I can see this book as a whole.
  • Oh, yeah, there's still the matter of one photograph whose copyright permission I need to secure. FML.
  • But once I do that, then I can proofread it and, pending any last thoughts my editor wants to drop on me, I can ship it.
  • I think.

    If you think you're finished, you probably are. And either way, you deserve a drink.

    Congrats!

  5. Hubby says he wants pics or it didn't happen. So if you could print it out and then take a picture of the stack of paper, that would be awesome. Kthxbye. ;)
