I'm so excited I finally got to make the announcement on my blog.
And very proud of myself because I resisted posting "SUCK IT [FORMER SUCKASS PUBLISHER], YOU USELESS WANKERS!!!" as part of the announcement.
See? I can be a lady.
Sort of.

As you should be.

Shoot, I'm not going to be able to finish up 22. My head is hurting too much tonight. Too much stress today I think.
I feel bad I made some people feel bad. Please don't. I sort of wish I could do a take back on all various communications today. Online and otherwise.
Oh well, tomorrow will be better!

Again, congratulations Amy and Barb! Well done, from following the thread I know you've worked hard to achieve it!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Gud, you didn't make me feel bad! I was making me feel bad all on my own and you relieved some guilt. Nothing but good from over here!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow Barb, and yay! Amy! Congratulations to both of you.
Fingers are all crossed for Allyson now.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Congratulations Amy and Barb. That well-deserved news is lovely to hear. I LOVED what I got to read of the YA zombie novel.
~ma for Allyson to get the same kind of good news very soon.

Not much progress last night, but I'm hoping to knock out 22 tonight, then go after the critique Saturday sometime. I'll probably go a day over the week turnaround, but I'm a chapter ahead overall. While the exchange person has been great, I sort of wonder what happens when she runs out of book and I don't. Her's is targeted at 80k and mine at 120k, her chapters (about 4k) are larger than mine (about 2.5k) and I'm a chapter ahead. So I expect I'll be done with her's at the halfway point of mine. Maybe I can look at rewrites or even her other WIP. Dunno.
Anyhow I think I have the all new portions of chapter 23 worked out in my head. About a third of the way through 23, I'll reconnect to the rough draft for awhile. Massive rewriting, but not totally new.

Because books.
That's a whole new idea for me, Gud -- I've only ever asked people to read something as a favor (and then reciprocated later), or read aloud in critique group.
Thanks so much for the good wishes, everyone! Expect ... well, some freaking out and requests for help as I finish the book, for sure.
