Copyedits arrived in the mail last night

Pray for me.

Though by stroke of luck, Saturday is the bi-annual STAR writer's retreat. This year we're trying something new--rather than meeting at a member's house, we're taking over a nearby B&B, so we'll have both a common gathering space as well as individual writing rooms. And a hostess providing meals & snacks.

So anything I can't bang out tonight or tomorrow I can do Saturday, when I won't be tempted by the distractions I'd find at home.

Goal is to finish up by Sunday, photocopy the sucker, and then express mail it on Monday.

Mmm, tastes like tyrannosaurus rex
