I can barely force myself to say it, but I think I’m pretty much… done! My manuscript is turned in and although there are a few things outstanding and there will be more work down the line, I’m calling it. DONE! It’s taken me about 3 days to be able to even utter the words. My shoulders are slowly sinking back down, my brow is unfurrowing, my head is clearing and I feel my self creeping back into place. I’m thinking about summer plans with the kids, gardening, and even sewing. And getting back in the swing of blogging. I miss everybody! I’m going to drink a few more margaritas, see a few movies, catch up with friends. Heck I might be able to salvage some of this Summer after all.
When I got this calendar in January I was just starting work on the book. I’ve been waiting all year to turn the page to this month. Hello Mr. Cardinal. I love you!
Congratulations that’s wonderful news! Can’t wait to see what the finished book looks like!

Oh, hearty congratulations! I can hear the ‘free as a bird’ (sorry, Mr Cardinal) from here.
