Critical decisions . . . Funny you should mention that, MJG, since right this very minute I’m looking at the edits on my galley proofs and trying to decide whether to fight for “website” and “internet,” or give in to the official “Web site” and “Internet.”

Critical decisions . . .

It must be a bit annoying when a typo or another error is discovered. Afterall, it IS your book and if you choose to throw in another version of spelling that should be your choice.

Really? Huh. They called ME when they ordered the paper. Strange... No, no, just kidding. Yeah, it's weird to live in those lulls -- the edits are done, there's nothing more for you to do as the writer. And now you just wait. And, yeah, other people who are gainfully employed at REAL jobs are slaving away, but it's not like you can SEE them working. And since you (and I, of course) are just slugs at this point, laying around and refreshing Google over and over to see if anyone has mentioned us lately, there's nothing to do but wonder and worry and stress. What a weird, weird way to live. But trust me -- it all works out. I've seen how this movie ends. Come August, you'll be high as a kite. The book will done and out and people will be reading it and reviewing it and loving it. And then you'll have a whole slew of NEW things to stress over. :) You mean they didn’t call when they ordered the paper? Really?
