Finished Deathlock yesterday, caught a cold today.  Gonna spend the weekend on the couch, eating smores and watching “Last Holiday” with Queen Latifah.  I might even muster the energy to go to the library for a wild and crazy browsing extravaganza.  (Yes, that’s my idea of a party.)

But seriously, how awesome is fuzzy blanket + fuzzy kitty + fun book + husband willing to wait on you cuz you’re sick?  It doesn’t get much better.

Back in May, I told you that I’d come to a breakthrough with Deathlock.  Well, I’ve been working almost nonstop on that breakthrough for the past three days, and I’m in the home stretch with an outline to get me through.

I hope to send it out soon to my poor beleaguered friends who said once they might be interested in reading something I wrote.  And then I’ll whip them like an ancient Egyptian slave driver until they proofread it.  Bwaha… ha?

This book is shorter and more streamlined than Frostbite, which makes me wonder if I don’t need to go back and cut things in that story.  I still think the story itself is right but it seems to need a snip here, a tuck there.  I’m going to get on that when this (FINAL!!!!) version of Deathlock has a nice snazzy “The End” stamped on it.

You do realize this is the fifth full rewrite of Deathlock, and I’ve finally hit the right note.  You know that, right?  I finally get to stop feeling like a madwoman.  *joy*
