And... I have finished my edits! OH MY STARS! I was absolutely put through the ringer on this book and rightfully so. I should be grateful for my crazy comic-sans editor as she truly loves my writing and was/is awesomely patient with this baaaad author. So many years not writing really took a toll on my skills but this story got me back up and running again. The first half is chock-full of fixes, corrections, suggestions, and me rewriting chunks of it this week, where the back, most recent half is much smoother. Writing the big bang was a wonderful task as I was on the writing roll at last but this poor fic, man. THree years to write a 120k story? I don't recommend it. AT ALL.
But it is all done, and turned in, and it is coming out October 18th, and I cannot wait.
WOO!!!
Unfortunately, lol, I have to start doing homework tonight so I've had only ten minutes to celebrate freedom.
But really I am not complaining. I am super excited about my new class--my first in twenty-five years. Yes I know some of you on my flist were barely toddlers (or pea-size even) so yeah, it was a long time ago. First class went really well and I came out of there excited and energized, my mind whirling with excitement over what we would be doing.
Working on the big bang and then my book edits completely took over the last few weeks, but I have every intention of making a nice chunky post about my trip to see Nick. I have some lovely pictures to share, after all!
All in all, am pretty darn happy these days, except for that not living with Nick thing. Still no permanent job, but oddly enough I got a rather intriguing job lead leaving the elevator yesterday, and walking to the parking garage, with the head of HR of an oil and gas fracking company. She wants my resume, and she's going to get it, and we'll see what I think. If I get an offer, I definitely will toss the fact of its existence toward the unnamed law firm, as I am super-comfy there, love the people, they adore me (beams), and I would be thrilled to plant myself there permanently. The situation looks more possible as the person I am filling in for, though finished with her radiation treatment, is now going on long-term disability. I want to stay here at the unnamed law firm, really do, but I can't wait forever either--my first tier of unemployment will be running out soon and, you know, it would be nice to have insurance again. Yeah.
All for now! I'm going to get comfy and watch some shows and write my syllabus down into one of my notebooks I got today. I tweeted the picture but here it is for those not on twitter, which seems to be my hang-out of choice these days.
