That's right I finished my book, around 680 pages of it, sent it in, breathed easy, caught up on sleep and BAM, less than two days later, I'm hit with revisions.   They are going to take some doing, let me tell you, but my editor is right on the money, as usual.  Of course the changes have to be done right away, so I cancelled my weekend plans and am rolling up my sleeves to dig in.  I've got some cutting and pasting and discarding and adding to attend to. Pronto!

It's a complicated job due to the fact that it was written in one program, converted to another and printed in the second.  The end result:  the page numbers don't match and my Internet is being "winky."

Hmmm....

I made a pot of soup and bought salad in a bag and some frozen dinners, had my boys haul up a big table on which to lay out the 50 chapters, and am going at it.  The dogs and a trip to the beach to storm watch will have to wait.  The house cleaning, too, is put on hold and forget the fact that I was going to tackle a major mess in my closet.

For now, I'm back at Blue Rock Academy which is the setting for WITHOUT MERCY.  I'm pretty sure I'll be there all weekend!

Ah, yes.  Revisions.  Always the most fun part of writing a book.  Good luck!
