You know it’s bad when you’re dreaming about revisions. Here’s the dream I had the other night, in comic format – although there was nothing comic about it. Har har.
Nothing comic about that, either.

(Actually, for all this, substitute “days” for “nights” because I’m momming it during the day and revising at night, often taking breaks to flip over my little stomach-sleeper.)

I just sent my revised MS back to her! Ahhhhhh! Will celebrate as soon as I’m done trembling.
