And it's done

[la_marquise]

It's done. Death and the Madwoman is finished and submitted to DAW.
Colour me shattered.
It's okay, I think. I reread it and fixed typos and egregious errors over the weekend at the Cambridge Folk Festival, which was.... interesting. Particularly the bit with the Huge Hailstorm. I was soaked through to the skin, literally. The manuscript stayed safe and dry.

Did I mention that I'm shattered?

Skirt of the day: blue flouncey.

This blog supports Betsy Wollheim for Best Editor (Long Form) at the Hugos.

Hooray!

I know writers who get so depressed when they're done with one project that they immediately begin another. I like to change pace, clean up my desk, noodle around with short fiction, before I dive into another novel-length adventure.

I've tidied the desk. And the new project... I intend to at least try and write an outline for it later this week.
Plus I still have to finish The Drowning Kings.

Only if you want to. But I would like to read the rest of it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I sort of feel I should. And I rather want to know how Owain is going to solve all this, too!

Congratulations! (But, sorry you're shattered. ::HUGS::)

[vaughan-stanger.livejournal.com]

Well done!

[taldragon.livejournal.com]

congratulations!

[mevennen.livejournal.com]

Well done!

[inamac.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! You are entirely entitled to be blue and flouncey after all that effort.

[mindyklasky.livejournal.com]

Many congrats on finishing! (I can't imagine a more appropriate skirt for the occasion - finishing requires flounce!)

As for the hailstorm - I just said to Mark this weekend, I've never experienced that form of extreme weather -- I'm glad the ms stayed safe and dry!

Yay!

[fjm.livejournal.com]

celebratory drink after work on Wednesday?

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Yes, please!

[fjm.livejournal.com]

Shall I just call when I'm done? I haven;t looked at my calendar yet. My guess is between 5 and 6.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

That would be lovely. I should be in from 2 pm.

[andrewducker]

Congratulations!

[jandersoncoats.livejournal.com]

What a great feeling, to be done. Enjoy!

[al-zorra.livejournal.com]

Many, many congratulations for completing Death and Madwoman.

Does this pick up the same characters as from Concubine?

Agree with the nomination for Best Editor, fwiw. It's about time.

Love, C.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

Yes, indeed: it's a sequel to GKC.

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

Hurrah!

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[ex-triciasu.livejournal.com]

Massive congratulations! *pops champagne*

Rest well.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I'm intending to do all the things I've been putting off, like the gym, which I enjoy.

I believe this calls for one of those long, melismatic Alleluias that echoes through the fan vaulting.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

(I am just sayin', but "melismatic" is one of my favourite words, and this is the second time in a week I've seen it used absolutely as it should be. T'other was in a music review, which nicely demonstrates the span: from academic critique to flight of fancy. Yay!)

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

It does indeed :-)

[lil-shepherd.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! Not only under the wire but with a whole day to spare!

[steepholm.livejournal.com]

Bingo! Well done.

[shewhomust.livejournal.com]

Hooray! And well done! And I hope the shatteredness passes quickly...

[chrisbutler.livejournal.com]

Congratulations. :)

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

Well done!

[sartorias.livejournal.com]

HUZZAH!!!!!

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Oh, bravo. The glue of social converse is good for repairing shatterednesses...

[coth.livejournal.com]

Oh three cheers!

Fancy coming down for the Melton Mowbray on Thursday so that I can buy you a drink? We could put you up...she said, hopefully.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I will check what we're doing this weekend and whether that means I will need to be hear doing cleaning on Thurs.

[teriegarrison.livejournal.com]

Hooray!!! Congratulations!

[themis1.livejournal.com]

Yay! Very well done - look forward to reading it :-)

[klwilliams.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! I look forward to reading it.

[princejvstin.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[pbray.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on finishing Death and the Madwoman!

[aberwyn.livejournal.com]

You have entered the "urk urk" zone! Congratulations!

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I have. Urk...

[gillpolack.livejournal.com]

Very well done. I would love to hear the story of the Cambridge Folk Festival and the Huge Hailstorm and the Saving of the Manuscript, one day.

[http://users.livejournal.com/la_marquise_de_/]

I must write it up. It was... interesting.

[stina-leicht.livejournal.com]

Yayayayayayayayyay!!! :) Congrats!

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

Oh excellent! Congrats!

[makyo.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Well done!
