Out with the In Crowd is (basically) done
24 August 2009
So just before starting this blog entry, I sent an e-mail to my editor with a handful of corrections of Out with the In Crowd. Then I put a rubberband around the manuscript and shoved it to the side. On my end, it’s done. Which is pretty incredible. And nerve-wracking, because I just know there’s some annoying typo buried in there.
Doing this the second time around (and by “this” I mean galleys, page proofs, interacting with the fabulous team at Revell) is so much better. Like anything in life, you get smarter the more you do things. Now for a really lame example, when I read over the page proofs for Me, Just Different I made my corrections right on the page. And then when I was trying to e-mail my editor, I discovered that the only way to find my corrections was to flip through all two hundred and fifty six manuscript pages. This time I knew to use little flags. Made e-mailing her take only twenty minutes rather than forty-five.
And these are the fabulous gems that I have for you this Monday morning. It wasn’t a weekend of great sleep. On Friday night we went and watched the Royals lose in extra innings. (No snarky comments, please.) When I say “we,” I mean McKenna too. We didn’t leave the game until about 10:30 and she was an angel. It was actually me who was grumpy and ready for bed. And when she woke up at 7:30 the next morning yelling, “Mama, come! … Please,” I was not thrilled. Then yesterday we had to be at church early because it was our morning to hang out with the kiddos in the 2/3-year-old room, and of course this morning it’s back to regularly scheduled life, which doesn’t allow for sleeping in. So hopefully I’ll be able to be a little more interesting for you tomorrow.
Yawn…
Yay! So exciting to have it done on your end.
And I would LOVE to have mine wake up at 7:30! LOL.
