SO MANY MANUSCRIPTS SO LITTLE TIME SEND HELP
Oh my god, you guys, I am so tired.
My life is a little bit insane right now, and it is only going to get more insane. I just finished editing a 370 page manuscript. This manuscript was very, very late, and came in right before Rosh Hashana and needed to get edited, like, yesterday.
On Wednesday, another super-late 385-page manuscript came in. On Thursday, the second draft of a third super late, 435-page manuscript came in. Also, MS#2 is the third in a trilogy, and I have been procrastinating reading #2, because I had a billion other things to do, so I am also now frantically reading the second book in the trilogy so I can edit the third.
Not to mention a less long, less urgent manuscript that came in a couple of months ago that I was just about to start working on and then these three whoppers came in. Also not to mention catalog copy for Fall 09 which is due on Tuesday and I haven’t even started. Also not to mention that I’m out on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday for Yom Kippur, and Friday for Community Outreach Day.
I just finished editing MS#1. I stayed up late last night and worked on it on the train. I had promised Editor D I would get it to him before the weekend. AND I DID. I fall over now.
On the bright side, my friend Ariel bought me a cheer-up cupcake from Crumbs. It is huge, and it has lots of icing and rainbow sprinkles. It is delicious. I <3 Ariel.
That is my editorial workload. There is another major workload that is about to collapse on my head, and I seriously am not sleeping again until January. But that is for another post, and another time. I am stressed out enough for right now.
