I love the smell of toner in the evening

I have beer.

I have milano cookies.

I have a freshly printed copy of the revised manuscript for THE FINAL SACRIFICE, ready for the final read through. It was printed with track changes on, so it's in a teeny, tiny font, with colored highlights showing each change I've made.

Wish me luck, I'm going in.

ETA: Six hours later, and I've just turned the final page. And guess what? The book doesn't suck. In fact I actually like it. Who would have guessed?

Me at the grocery store earlier today, buying a six pack and a bag of milanos. "Beer and chocolate, you've got all the essentials," the clerk observed.

Luck luck luck!

And now I want cookies.

I blame you.

Thanks. Cookies good!

Good luck! *blows party whistles*


On an alternative note: You have Milanos. I am jealous. I only ever had them once when a friend imported them, and gosh they were nice, but they dont sell them here in Oz. But at least we have the TimTams bwahaha!

Well any source of chocolate will do in a pinch.

Milanos ::drool::

Good luck!

Thanks! I have to ration my milanos intake, or otherwise I'd eat the whole bag in a sitting...

Umm, you mean you're not supposed to do that? ::shifty::

I'm glad you got to the end and still like it! That must feel great :)

Mailed it off this morning, and breathed giant sigh of relief.

Me and my lizard keychain/bottle opener cheer you on!

Don't forget to surface for air once in a while.

Ummm... plain Milanos, or flavored?

Double-chocolate milanos, of course. And Magic Hat #9, their almost IPA, for those keeping score at home. A good beer for the autumn.

Thanks! And six hours later, I'm done. And the book doesn't suck, who could have guessed? *grin*

[identity profile] mizkit.livejournal.com 2007-11-19 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
I suspect I could've guessed. :) YAY for done, if somewhat belatedly!

[identity profile] kelly-swails.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck. See you on the other side!

[identity profile] pbray.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! Waves from other side.

[identity profile] footlingagain.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hooray! A new book! That you're pleased with!

*bows down*

[identity profile] pbray.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it cool?

And hopefully on June 24th, 2008, my readers will be pleased as well.

Well, of course it doesn't suck. A great author wrote it.

[identity profile] pbray.livejournal.com 2007-11-11 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the vote of confidence.

how exciting!

Looking forward to reading THE FINAL SACRIFICE, not in teeny tiny font. :)

I think you'll like it. Plus, it's got lizards, so how can I miss?
