but I open the file and I just can't bring myself to add anything new to what's there.
maybe start a new file? Doesn't have to be stuff to be added, maybe some new stuff. You said that you had some ideas for new books, maybe start drafting proposals? Or go out for margaritas, whichever works ;)
Paperwork~ma to Drew. I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible.

You gonna hop a flight so we can go be intimidating at bars together? Hm?
First we must spank you, and spank you well. And then we must spank all of us.
I thought the idea was to chastise me for being a dolt. :-P

Sounds like a plan. Due to dad's injury, I might have a ticket to florida this weekend that's going to waste. *sigh*
I like the idea of spanking Barb between margaritas. Surely that will unfreeze things.
Barb, can you describe for me one of those thoughts you are having trouble getting down?
How do you use that group? I need to set a number of goals in different areas and it might be helpful to have support like that.
Mainly, we say what we plan to do and then if we did it, but it's pretty new. The plan was also to talk about goal setting and things that worked for us.
eta: You're welcome to join, if that wasn't obvious.
I am a dirty skipper, but ...
What this does, effectively, is delay acceptance on that manuscript, which means my editor can't read my proposal for my new YA novel, which means I can't submit it to any other publishers, which, in a word, SUCKS.
I'm not sure they can do this, babe. You handed in the book on time, and have completed more than one set of revisions. Their schedule is not your problem -- you fulfilled your part of the contract. And they can't make you wait indefinitely to read option material for sure. Talk to Agent about this, or we can discuss in e.
Now to attempt to catch up after a day of not!killing!my!boss! at work. Go me.

Well, Agent Kate is looking at the contract-- in effect what happened is that my editor submitted the manuscript to her publisher for final acceptance. Publisher decided that manuscript was not ready to go into production, that it would need at least one more revision, thereby delaying acceptance. And contract reads that option shall not be considered until delivery AND acceptance have both happened.
Which sucks.
