Current Final length of novel: 91,680 96,150
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 [livejournal.com profile] 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*

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!
