Estimated scenes left: 3 ZERO
Expected completion date: TODAY!!!! CONFIRMED! YAY YAY YAY

my manuscript is done!zomgzomgzomg! my manuscript is done! zomgzomgzomg!

It needs a new title though, as the one I have had all this time just really doesn't fit. Mander gave me a suggestion that I might go with though it is a bit long, 7 words. But, it fits-- Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. I could call it MESMERIZED instead I suppose... LOL!! Hmmm. Dang it. I hate titles.

New title unless the publisher hates it (and I checked no one else had used it) is FASCINATION. Thank you

sartorias for the awesome suggestion!

I rewrite as I go, so am confident one last huge sweep through the whole ms will see it ready to turn in. Oh my stars, this puppy could be in by the 15th, I think. Yeah.

Christmas has not hit my house yet. May bring home tree (surprise!) sometime this week. The spot where I want to put it still has 300 notebooks in boxes in it, notebooks we are trying to find some charity or organization to take. They were donated, and the dear daughter did not want to see them thrown out (from a doctor's office that has gone all-digital) so they are in my dining area. Um... Yeah? They've been there 2 months now.

Daughter had Big Interview all day on Friday. Our confidence is high regarding her getting this position and she could end up in San Francisco, New York, Rhode Island, Minnesota or Houston--her five choices. Wow. We're excited to say the least. Rhode Island is the one choice (okay Houston too as Houston Sucks) that confused me but she is feeling good about San Francisco. She met with someone Friday who did her 2-year term there and got Tiff all excited and Full of Possibilities. LOL.

So, we'll see. She doesn't find out until January.

Back to writing! I am sad/anxious/excited about finishing this book at last. WHEE!!!!! TWO YEARS AGO I started this puppy--next one? I aim to finish in three months. *nods*

Fascination?

'mesmerized' always makes me think of that con artist Mesmer, but I might be alone in that.

Anyway, congratters!

I think you may have won the title contest I don't even have. It would really work, I think! Hmmm...

and thanks! just completing SOMETHING finally, FINALLY! is so happy-making I am just filled with joy. *dances*

Notebooks: Do you have an organization like Operation Backpack? Or do you know any teachers who have students who might need them?

Title: What about shortening it to let the full phrase be implied? "Eyes off of you" or "Can't take my" (though that is too GaGa LOL). Mesmerized doesn't really do it for me. That sounds *too* romance novel/fairytale.

OMG YAY ALMOST FINISHED GO YOU!!

My MIL's church is supposed to take them now but we have yet to hear for sure. Aggravation! Ha there is a title for you.

FINISHED FINISHED FINISHED! Except time to rewrite now. WHOA. Shower first. I am grungy. LOL.

You must feel amazing right now!!!

I feel shocked, hand-flaily, OMG WHAT NOW? LOL. I gave in and dropped my editor a note. She probably will faint to hear from me. LOL!

I'm giving myself a week to go through it again, and fix anything that wants fixing. I fixed all the big stuff as I went along, as I just can't stand writing without revising. Just doesn't work well for me! I learned so much from this story it is ridiculous. *bites nails* I just hope readers like it and hey, also that they take it! I hope they will since they just signed Red on for another go-round. *bites nails harder*

EEEK!! AHHH!! LOL.

Sending a note is good. Now she knows to clear out some time for your tome! Get the excitement going!

Well, you always knew the title would go. I like both, but I think if short is better, then Mesmerized is a good choice.
So may possibilities in that title.

Good luck to Tiff!

I meant *many possibilities. Clearly I need to eat something and finish my laundry. ;)

LOL! I gotcha. :)

Better get Tiff some homesick pills.

Congrats on being so close to finishing the book! Woohoo! When will my autographed copy be arriving? I have to make sure I'm home.

Her? ME! Daughter-sick pills. How come that doesn't sound good.

Hey maybe there will be TWO? this one is actually short enough to be more than just an ebook so we'll see. That sure would be nice. *dreaming*

Yay for an all-but-finished ms! And good luck to Tiffany! As for RI, depends on where in the state she lands. Providence is way cool.

Awww I have no idea where it would be. We will stay unsure about everything until January 13th it looks like. Unreal.

I am not sure where exactly you and Spider are but her second choice was New York. I have a few friends up that general direction, though she thinks I am a bit silly to be worrying about who would live near her, just in case.

IMO you shouldn't title it today so when the post-completed euphoria wears off and you begin to miss your characters you can spend some more time with them. Well done ♥.

I am going to use Fascination as a title-for-now, but if they want something else, that is fine and dandy with me! You betcha. :) Thanks! I am a happy camper, woot!

I should watch something and just lay on the bed and be lazy the rest of the evening. Yeah.

Oh, that's a good title. I'm attracted to one-word titles so I'd pick up that for sure.

Start the next soon! Strike while the writing iron is hot.

Wonderful news! You go, girl!

I'm still waiting to hear on book, and find myself in writing limbo. I can't move forward until I know what in the f**k is happening with that book. Sigh.

Thank you!!! And oh man, waiting is so hard, it sucks, they better get to you soon cuz it is beyond time for a new one from you. I'll be watching for news! I hope you hear soon. Limbo sucks. I don't want to go back there anytime soon.

I am super-excited about the next one as all the supernaturaly stuff I've been reading and watching is finally smacking me with the need to write it. This will be another loose-id one, for sure, but after that one is in the can (and I plan to knock it out in three months--I KNOW I can) then I am off to write a mainstream fantasy. Need to prove to myself I can stay on-track and focused with a project first before tackling that as it will probably take lots longer.

Isn't writing fun? (aah!)

This post calls for a celebratory dance:

I could watch that man dance forever. Thank you Blue! :)

GO SNOOKUM'S!

So...can I have an autographed copy? Course, I am still waiting on the last one you promised me. I know, I know, it got lost in the mail. *grin*

Tiff in Rhode Island? That would be a hoot! If I remember correctly, she got homesick just being in Oklahoma.

Sunday Sunday you are THE DAY!
