ecstaticI just finished my draft four edits!!!! Woot! Woot! Hell yeah . . . in your face . . . HAPPY DANCE!!!! But wait, there's more!! I managed to burn the playlist for my virgin beta readers. Gotta give them the full Diyari Chronicles experience. Did I tell you that I am excited? I'm not even tired. That is a lie. A total lie. But I have to push through. I still have 8 bags of baked goods to put together. That's right! Not only did I edit the last three chapters of my 79,000 YA novel, I went to church, I ate lunch with friends, and I was kicking butt and taking names in the kitchen. Puppy Chow, Margarita Cookies (my own recipe), and cupcakes with pumpkin cheesecake frosting for EVERYONE. Who cares if I fall asleep on my clients tomorrow (I mean later today). I was an excellent writer and baker today (yesterday). Who am I kdding . . . when 6:45am rolls around I'm going to be cursing the gods.
But in this moment I'm the master of my little universe. Woot! Woot!! Hugs & Encouragement!!-
