I'm moving along, but I'm looking forward getting to a part where I'm not completely rewriting everything.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have one last rewrite to do before Agent Kate can send it out to editors.
Quick! Say something encouraging!!!!

I'm a nervous wreck. I mean, if Kate wants a second round of edits and is putting in the time to smooth it all out, then she thinks it's got a good shot. I'm having a bout of Imposter Syndrome, but other than that, I'm hopeful!

Go, Allyson! Although I can have IS totally sitting in here working alone so I do get it

“Not dead yet!”
Back to writing after nearly two weeks off between the vacation and RWA Nationals. Three chapters revised with nearly a thousand new words in a scene. Making note of where I'm going to need to cut further ahead, because some of a future scene is now redundant.
It's like playing a game of chess.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, I am made of Imposter Syndrome, so I totally sympathize. But you are, in point of fact, awesome, and Agent Kate loves your book. Do the polishing, rock it out, and off it goes!
Yay for Gud. I do the researching thing, like your wife, and I'm glad she's interested, but you should feel free with drawing your own lines, Gud. Also, you should feel free to ask for betas when you're ready for them, and we can be all interferey ourselves. Hee. Because we're going to love your book.
Yay for Barb back to writing! We have an awfully active thread all of a sudden, even without drabbles!

Is that volunteering? I'd love to have somebody else give it a read, but I don't want to ask since this is going to be in the area of 150,000 - 160,000 words.
