Absent

Now, I know I haven't been here, but I have been working hard.

I'm finally hitting the home stretch - the almost final revisions of the first six chapters and synopsis are due over to the agent before Monday. She's already had the top forty title list... and we still haven't decided on one. She'll have a better idea once she's read the revised chapters - so much has changed, it's hard to keep it all straight.

I'm working a half day at the day job today, and plan to spend the afternoon in my local Costa with a large latte, my printouts and my pink laptop.

It's all very scary but exciting. Agent keeps saying things like 'I mentioned it to so-and-so, an editor at Big Publisher, and they're very excited to see it.'

Hopefully by this time next week, I should know what the next step is.
