Literary Calendar

This week I submitted a grant that I'd worked on for months. Finishing this grant opened up my calendar.

It opened it up just in time for my editor to e-mail me and say he'd finished editing my book. I should be expecting notes soon. I'm looking forward to doing rewrites, but I also have to be emotionally and mentally prepared. (You want me to change what? I can't get rid of those pages; I love those pages.) For the most part, I'd had positive editing experiences. Most of the editors have been kind in phrasing suggestions. However, there have been sh*theads who belittle your skill or talent.

I'm going to use some vacation time to do the rewrites. I'll need those few weeks in August to get this done.
