Not according to Firefox. It puts those red dots under them. I guess Firefox hasn't met the Hellhounds.

agent thought she emailed me yesterday AM with her comments- she loves one character- thinks the other needs work..said the editor does want to see stuff as I write it, but that I should have more first before we send her something...phew...

I sent off my final proof pages to the publisher. It's terrible seeing the book in book form. Terrible! I knew I could only do light changes at this point but I wanted to rewrite whole scenes.

However, it's done. Progress. Woot.

Mercy, I know that feeling from my day job -- it looks so different and you really want to rewrite, but you can't.

BUT THIS IS AWESOME. Congrats.

Yay, Mercy! I used to draw a lot, and I still hate looking at my work hanging on the wall at my parents' house because all I can see are the flaws. But that's not what everyone else sees, you know?

If anyone's been curious about my book, Venture Untamed, I'm doing a facebook giveaway here: http://www.facebook.com/TheVentureBooks.
