Okay. The Mac sending mail sound has just echoed across the computer, which means the finished Ruby Key is on its way to my agent, Robin. I’m pretty wiped out, but very happy with the book. It wrapped at 63,000 words, which was well within my target zone, the new ending worked beautifully, (though I was revising and adding and changing things right up until the last word).
I’m done. It’s sort of starting to sink in. I’m done. (Until the revision requests, anyway.)
I have to do income tax stuff next—never fun, and that will take me about three days, I’m guessing.
And then?
Well, the Create A Plot Clinic.
Revising chapters two and three on the Green Magic proposal, and sending that back.
Hawkspar, when I get the revision requests.
Outlining the sequel to The Ruby Key.
A couple of Cadence Drake novellas or novelettes.
C.
The Sympathy for the Devil screenplay, which will probably undergo a title change to The Devil and Dayne Kuttner.
Lots of things to do. Figuring out priorities and scheduling all of them will be…interesting.
