I talked to my editor this morning and told her about the LJ list, and she said she hadn't sent me yet b/c she was waiting for the link/scan. <br/><br/>Thanks! Liviania,

Lucky, lucky you. :-)

Kim,

Wow, your information is fast. I talked to my editor this morning and told her about the LJ list, and she said she hadn’t sent me yet b/c she was waiting for the link/scan.

Thanks!

All this recognition must make the arduous writing process worthwhile. It also must increase the pressure on delivering quality books.

Wrong thread. :-) Put it in the blog entry below so you get your chance at the prize.

HelenW,

LOL! Never thought them to be interesting. More like okay, let’s get on with it. But I actually am looking forward to the manuscripts.

Kim,

I’ve never been sick of a book, but I’ve been awfully sick of continuing to work in a book. Does that make any sense? For example, with DELICIOUS, with each draft, I grew to love the story more, because it spoke more and more deeply to me. But all the same, at the very end, I used to put my head into my hands and GROAN when my editor wanted more changes.

It’s a wonder I never took up either caffeine or alcohol. :-)

I don't envy you all those re-writes. By the end of all the editing, are you sick of the entire book or is there a sense of pride and accomplishment that it's complete? Sherry,

Nice interview. I don’t envy you all those re-writes. By the end of all the editing, are you sick of the entire book or is there a sense of pride and accomplishment that it’s complete?
