After having worked very single-mindedly on my Marie-Claude series of shorts (20K words as of today, in three weeks!), I'm really looking forward to getting feedback and corrections on my The Lover of Lilith story, so I can start fixing that one up before we really kick into writing gear, my girlfriend and I, after the first week of July.

I've decided that once I get notes back on TLOL, I will put aside a week or two to write some companion pieces as seen from Mary's point of view. Could be a fun thing for rainbowfic! I already have the colors picked out!

My editor has given me a timeframe that says before the end of June, so she still has a few weeks to work with - and I a few weeks to wait, but that's all right. I think. If the wait and anticipation doesn't kill me. I've never had anyone professional look at my English writings before...

good luck with all of this. Waiting on (and receiving) pro edits can be nerve wracking

[verylongfarewell]

It really is. I've worked with betas a lot before, but it being someone I'm paying for their time and work just... adds another layer and depth to what I get back.

I find it a little anxiety inducing if I'm honest

[verylongfarewell]

Oh, totally! My anxiety has been spiking ever since I sent off the 1st draft.

[cornerofmadness]

Understandable. Here's hoping it's not so bad once you get the edits

[verylongfarewell]

Thank you and yes, indeed.

Oh, pro-feedback! Deep breathing and calming thinky-thoughts. Sounds like you've got a handle on it.

Thank you! I think it'll be fine, but since it's new territory, a lot of doubts and insecurity comes with it.
