Friday, September 29, 2006Applause?So Eric read the final three chapters of my manuscript last night while I dozed off. Literally. I was sound asleep as his pencil was scratching its away across my recycled pages. I awakened to the sound of applause. Eric was standing by the foot of the bed clapping his hands. I felt like the Princess Regent in her gilded litter, bowing and waving to her adoring serfs. Well, actually, I felt completely disoriented, since the applause had startled me awake. I didn't know why he was clapping. I still don't know. He may have been clapping because he really loved the ending, or he may have been clapping because he was utterly relieved to have finally finished muddling through. I'm not going to ask him. Nope. I'm just going to plug through his notes, make my edits, and continue to get this novel in the Best Possible Shape. I'm really loving this Living the Writer's Life thing. And it's only going to get better. Have a glorious weekend! Labels: writing |

Congratulations Ms. Schafer Boehme!!
You know we all can't wait to see your stuff in print.
(And I'm glad Eric didn't suffer for having startled you awake, maybe that's why he moved to the foot of the bed - LOL!)
Yipppeee! How exciting....
Wow - must be so exciting. I wouldn't ask either, just read the notes :-)

Very cool! Congratulations! I am just about to start on my first manuscript, and so I am jealous LOL
I am here from Wendy ;)
I am sure he was clapping because he loved it and not because he was finally done lol.
How exciting for you :)
BTW I just looked again at the pic of you and your sister with your father and he totally reminds me of Sam Neill LOL
Congrats! Are you self publishing? You should join my writing community.
or go to that one chick's writing class! LOL
Dave! LOL
We're still going off on that one. Seems Eric's as bugged by it as I am. He's all snide-ish over it. :)
Congrats, Jill! Yea for finishing and for garnering that kind of reaction. How long has it been from start to finish? Less than a year, right?
