But I know you've been waiting forr that for a long time, so I won't be too jealous. A master's in one year? Wow, that's got to be tough, but hang in there. You can do it!

I get paid by the word, so I start calculating in my head and yelling at myself, "You just wasted fifty dollars!" But taking out stuff now makes me hyperventilate. I watch my word count the way divers watch their oxygen–every page I take out is a page I might not have time to write later.

Right now I’m just happy I don’t have a contract–I don’t have the time to make it work. (Without seriously suffering…)

What's it for? What are you going to do with it?<br/><br/>Not my business, of course, but I couldn't help but wonder... :) When I graduate, I will get to work in my pajamas, and pick up my children every afternoon from school.

I can only imagine it gets more stressful with a contract and deadlines looming over your head, but hey, you get to write!!<br/>BTW, you better meet your deadline because some of us are waiting with bated breath for your book!!!*wink*<br/>Good luck on that Master's program; it sounds intense!

I guess the side benefits make up for it.
