This was my life, post-cricket, on Thursday.
This is 1:42 p.m.
It took 2 minutes to saw through the bubble wrap on the package to reveal the annotated copy of Hedi Book 2 and THE NOTES.
This is my life after getting past the first two paragraphs on THE NOTES.
Somehow I made it to the couch but when I looked up some two hours later half a bottle of beaujolais was gone, and this is what I saw.
This is how my hangover felt Friday morning.
These is what I wanted to do between 4:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Friday.
This is what I did instead.
I talked to my friends (Uhm, I had to. I sounded liked a blithering raging monster the night before).
This is what I eventually did.
Life felt marginally better after that phone call to my editor.
I began the important part. I went shopping for essentials.
And I assembled a few essential tools.
I’ll see you when I come out the other side. Until then, please ignore the whimpers from Canada.

Hang in there Leigh! You’re going to be absolutely fantastic! *hugs*
Once I’m past the acid reflux we’ll meet for merlot:-)
This is brilliant. And funny. And a great visual demonstration of what it feels like to get an editorial letter. MUAH. You’ve written a wonderful book, but it’s going to be get even more brilliant. Which says a lot b/c it’s already pretty darn amazing.
Have I told you how much I love you?
Because I do.
Wow. Wonderful. Can’t wait…
Is dedication to writing (and publication) the quickest route to masochism?

P.S. Have been through the ringer quite a few times on my non-fiction stuff. Always a wonder to see the end product after working through edits, but you captured the roller-coaster to get there quite well!
I’m thinking it is, Tim:-) But along the way, there are so many great and wonderful things. You have to remember that as you plod through the tough stuff.
Brilliant!
