...the full draft of Map of My Dead Pilots is off to my agent.
If I do not think of pilots or Alaska for the next week it will be like a gift from God. (Not that there's anything wrong with either but still....one does need to enjoy the Pacific NW summer for at least a few days. :)
Oh, HURRAY! Oh, HUZZAH!
And good luck not dreaming of pilots, Alaska, snow, mountains, people you once knew, runways... it happens to me every single time. Well, all two times I've sent off a draft. But still.
congrats! looking forward to hearing more good news (from your agent and publisher) in the near future.
Part of that whole dreaming about pilots problem is that I'm married to a former Alaskan pilot (one of my son's middle names is even "Jet"! ha!)
But it's so nice not to worry about it every single second. I do have a chapter that I think will need to be inserted in the middle that I'm trying to tinker with and get done but not until August. (It's about how I decided to go to grad school and I think not having something that explains that in there raises a few questions - but I sent it off without it anyway as I was LOSING MY MIND!) July is officially an aviation free month.
