Finished the rough draft!
I completed the rough draft on my next novel early Sunday morning at 12:30. Now it's a matter of polishing, repolishing it, and repolishing it some more before sending it in to my editor. And then, of course, it'll be a matter of edting, editing, and more editing before we get to the final product. Such is the life of an author.... I'm not complaining, though. I wouldn't have it any other way. Hope to write more this weekend. I'm taking a vacation day Friday to spend time with Phyllis and take a four-day weekend. We're planning on going to Metamora, a little artsy town about an hour's drive from Indy. The drive is always relaxing. However, good ol' klutzy me fell here at home about two weeks ago. I landed hard on my left knee and hyperextended my foot. Everything is still swollen. Since I'd JUST gone to have a foot x-ray not that long ago, I sure as heck didn't want to go again. I'm holding out until a doctor's appointment on the 17th. I'll ask about it then. Oh! Before I forget, I'm going to be interviewed by Lara Zielinsky on her radio blog show next Thursday night, September 10th, at 11:30 p.m. Here's the link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/lara-zielinsky. It's a half-hour program. It should be fun. If you can't stay up that late, be sure and check out the archives section on Lara's website. For anyone out there reading this, too, I've started answering a "random question" from Blogspot. You can find it on my Profile page under the "About Me" section. It was a funny question this time--at least I thought it was funny. Check it out! Okay...back to "polishing."
