It's kind of weird finishing the same book for a third time...

I think I'm more nervous waiting for responses from betas rather than agents. :/

I had tacos for lunch. I made them with the taco meat we had frozen. Of course, it has been in the freezer for who knows how long, but that isn't a problem since I microwaved it to a crisp by mistake, thus killing any bacteria that could possibly grow within it.

I got them down with the help of a lot of sour cream and coke.

Does this warrant even a boring person tag?

Oh, Bex. When you get to Vt... all your note has to be is either 1) queryable or 2) unqueryable.

It's always nice when you fall in love with your book. I haven't been quite this excited about a book since CoS. (Although SaB is very high up on my excitement meter too. )

Becca, wherever you are, congrats on your full request!
