My brain is a little bit fried this morning. I finished the book I was working on this weekend. Not only did I finish it, but I put myself through a marathon session of first rounds edits yesterday as well.

All right--it sounds like I'm bragging, but I'm not really. I had close to half of it written and partially polished before I set it aside to write my Pricked submission, Ink Lust. Just the last half needed a thorough going-over.

Now I'm going to do something I never do: I'm going to put it down and walk away for a week or so. *bites nails*

This is a milestone for me because I have a terrible time letting the flavors of a book stew before I go back and give it another taste. I want to go over it again and again and again and get it out there... and then I think of things I might want to change after I've hit send and submitted.

Only time will tell if this is going to be a learning experience or a lesson in self-torture. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Monday! Have a great week!
