I know what you mean about the finishing line and feeling sad about letting it go - it's like a double edged sword.<br /><br />I'm still getting the beta readers trickling in with their fabulous feedback. The first three were quick, the third even read through it twice (it's over 112'000 words!) so that was way beyond the call of duty. <br /><br />I just kknow that you will beat your dealine and I, will not. After beta edits, I'll be sending it over to my editor so that will take a chunk of time. But hey, it was only an estimate and I don't have publishers on my back :) XShah Whartonhttp://shahwharton.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-61934391054113324182012-08-29T06:48:05.559+02:002012-08-29T06:48:05.559+02:00Congrats on being so close to the end that you can...Congrats on being so close to the end that you can taste it! :) That sure is a lot of work behind you, such a great accomplishment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060064276650474244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190412120537448720.post-29808288629060659142012-08-29T05:33:06.659+02:002012-08-29T05:33:06.659+02:00Great news!
