Well, talk about crashing to earth. Again. Two editors who had two different manuscripts both passed.
On the upside, Agent Kate loved the revisions I did to the old YA manuscript, but said I needed to add more to it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Art Crawl!!!
Just back from the oral surgeon.
Reading the instructions: I can have only liquids but nothing hot. I have no juice - so I guess I'm fasting tonight.
Also, I was told that the cost would be one thing on Friday and when I get the bill - after the extraction: surprise! The cost was at least $200.00 more!

That's a rip-off. Even taking into consideration my annual deductible, my last extraction only cost me $160, total.

Mine was way more than that. Around $1000, half of it covered by insurance.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My insurance is supposed to cover 80% but they wouldn't pay for my $500 night guard. Luckily the dentist was able to determine this before they made it for me so I didn't have to pay for it. I got a $25 model from the drug store instead.

Was that through your dental or through your medical? I know with my last good coverage, medical would cover it if the dentist says its necessary for TMJ reasons. My current coverage is crap, but I got the cheapest I could afford.

“Not dead yet!”
Sorry about the poopyhead editors, Barb.
Thanks, Laura. I'm... kind of stunned, actually. Not that I ever expect anything and I've ceased being surprised or shocked by anything with respect to publishing, but I'm just sort of hovering on this precipice of "What's wrong with me?" which I know is stupid and self=pitying, which in turn, pisses me off. It's kind of a vicious cycle and I don't exactly know how to break it.
