I finished editing my novel and have sent it back to the publisher. Now I will wait for the interior proof. I added 6731 words to my original version and I now have 104,378 words and 389 pages! Then I switched to quilting and I’ve finished the top to my current quilt. It is definitely bright, colorful, and full of dragons although I don’t think it’s a true collage. Not sure I’ve ever done one of those, so I lack experience, but I like what I have, and since it’s for me, that’s all that counts. I received a difficult e-mail which has thrown me, so I’m watching The Producers over and over again as I work on my puzzle. I’m not sure why I find it a comforting movie, but I do.

It is never fun to be blind-sided. Hoping you can resolve the issue with calm.
I have a possible battle looming. I received my jury duty compensation…but it seems a tad on the low side.
So I have to ‘battle’ that later today.
You’re in my thoughts today. I hope you get it all sorted out soon.
Congratulations on finishing your draft!
Thanks, Jules, and I hope you got your issue resolved satisfactorily!
Thanks so much, Lydia. Things are a bit of a struggle at the moment, but I’m trying to focus on the positives–like sending my book off and nearly finishing my quilt. Take care! 🙂
After actually trying to find a number, remembering to dial a 1 for long distance…I got a really very nice and helpful person. They choose to not wait for all the paperwork because the mail was slow and only processed a part of it.
The other bit should arrive eventually – and just in case he had me send a copy of my receipts.
As my hubby pointed out I’m just getting my own money back. Since we paid it already in ‘taxes’.
I hope things go well for you too. E-mail me if I can listen for you…
Thanks, Jules, and glad your issue got resolved. And thanks for the offer of an ear. I think I just need to face reality and get on with it. 🙂
