We had a great time at the picnic party. I forgot sunscreen and my face got burned. 
My hubby made out like a bandit during the raffle, winning three prizes. I won one, so we came home with some goodies. We had dinner and I hit my computer to find a packed inbox. Yikes. 
I started to get to it and then gave up. There was a crit from my cp in there so I pulled it up and worked off that, so despite being gone all day, I did work. *g* I’m now on page 250 out of 400 and for some reason, mentally, I think I’m almost done. 
At page 200 I was in despair. Now only 50 pages later I feel upbeat. Weird how the mind works to compartmentalize. Like when you take a long road trip. You judge the distance by certain landmarks that mentally gauge the distance left to travel. For me 200 was too far away, but 150 is not. 
The other day when I talked to Kate about my edits she said she didn’t have to do much, just a little nitpicking, nothing major. I haven’t seen them yet, but I’m certain she would have mentioned any major cuts. So that means the stories are probably still the length I wrote them. For you writers, I used TNR 14 and each story is 125 pages. I can’t wait until the edits get here, because after I send them back it won’t be long until the ARCs come. :bounce:
It sounds like things are moving along nicely for you. That’s great!:cheer:

Which edits are you working on? Something new for Brava? :dance:
by Larissa June 27th, 2005 at 8:23 amI do the same when writing. I think 6K word story is a lot and before I know it I have twice that much. :rofl:
by Silma June 27th, 2005 at 12:48 pmYes, Larissa, it’s my next Brava. :cheer:
by SylviaI think it’s because you’re past the halfway mark. It’s like the home stretch!
Good for you. Now, keep working!:whip:
