Still happy!

First off, thank you to everyone who's contacted me. That's so nice of you-all! Today I talked with my Warner editor, Melanie Murray. She's very nice, and of course I couldn't think of a single intelligent thing to say, aside from remarking that I needed to sit down and figure out my minimum words per day. My delivery dates are August 1, 2007 (in bookstores Aug-2008 more or less) and May 1 2008 (in bookstores ~May 2009).

Basically, though, I intend to shoot for the 857 words per day because that will get me comfortably done with time for critiquing and revisions. Not to mention that the semester ends in June, and the first book will be my final project for grad school, so as long as the tuckus gets in the chair, I'll be fine.

I'm kind of hoping I can quickly get Scandal into fighting shape. But starting tomorrow I'm going to be working on Magellan's Witch, the title my agent liked best. Obviously, Possession was never going to fly, but I kind of liked Ruby Eye.

Anyway, there's no soccer tomorrow so I can sleep in. I'm going to go get a head start on that now.
