Panic Attack?

I have the revisions for A Darker Crimson. There's one change that's pretty major because it involves completely changing the psychology of two chapters, but it's localized, more or less, to those two chapters. I think my solution to the problem pointed out is pretty darn good. Everything else isn't a huge deal I don't think. I'm in the middle of what I think is the messiest of the changes, lots of little stuff... Some things seem more complicated than they really are while stuff that sounds easy, isn't. Downside? This has to be back in NY by July 20. Erk! I'm hoping (probably not realistic) to be done with the first pass by the weekend. I got a lot done today. However, my son has an all day soccer tournament on Saturday. Not sure what that will do to my time frame. Depends. I'll know more, I guess, after his practice tomorrow. No complaints about any of the stuff I expected. But this will be a fabulous book when I get through adjusting to what he's pointed out.

So, in other news, my agent likes Shift a lot. She sounded enthusiastic. It's a good story. I'm kind of peeved I have to put it aside for a bit.

I was going to work on polishing my Sleath paper, I have a pretty complete draft, I think, but now that has to wait until after ADC gets into the mail.

I got my bookmarks for A Darker Crimson. If you want one, send me an email with your snail mail address.
