Down Into Darkness: A Retrievers Novel

I am at threequarterbookitis. And I am fkcuing brilliant. In case you missed that in my previous post.

*buffs fingernails*

(I'm sorry, was that too in your face? Tough. It's my LJ, I'll pat myself on the back if I want to.)

Of course, now I am, plot-wise, at the last chapter, and the last chapter -- as those of you who've been here for earlier books know -- doesn't get written until everything else has been slapped into shape.

So tomorrow morning the manuscript gets printed out, and I disappear into the dread First Readthrough, which means I mark up everything stupid I screwed up, every bit of plot buildup I forgot to do, every inconsistent or unfinished worldbuilding, etc and try to figure out how to fix it.

Believe me, when I'm done with that, I won't feel at all brilliant. Or even competent to sign my name on a parking ticket.

(send chocolate. or hugs. or chocolate hugs.)
