Kids are still home, haven't gotten a word written since Thursday.

Then yesterday it hit me that the buying editor, at the publishing house I desperately what to sell my completed manuscript to, has said she'll keep an eye out for my revised submission and read it when it comes, because she's sorry it took so long for me to find out it never made it. Aaarrrrggghhh!!! I don't know how to fix it!!! And now I'm in a tizzy... what I do here, with this first sentence, first paragraph, could mean the difference between selling this thing and not. This is the house I aimed it at from the very first word I wrote 5 years ago. Aaarrrgghhh!!

So writing anything at this point it pretty much out of the question. The good news is that through the Writer's track I do for DucKon and my local RWA chapter, I have resources I can tap. I have a bunch of people I can call on to hold my hand on this, a bunch of published authors to guide me through this. I emailed one yesterday, and hope to hear back from her today.

But in the meantime, today I straighten out my finances and pay my taxes... what fun... but at least I know I'm not wasting otherwise productive time doing it.
