the galley is done...

woohoo! Just finished up and send my (sparse...I think there were only like 10 max) galley edit changes back to the editor. Not bad, since I promised them no later than today. I actually did them yesterday while working at the yoga studio but couldn't stay awake to type them up.

I remember hearing an author once say that even though you send in a final proof of a story (novel, in her case, I believe), you never feel like it's really, completely, 100% finished--I'm finding that. I had the urge to send a note to the effect of "oh, and if I can keep it another week, I can make all kinds of descriptive changes...." but I resisted. Guess that's what I shoulda done before submission, right?!

Anyway, it's a relief (a good one) to have gotten the story back in such a fast time frame. Now I have time to work on that letter to the editor I mentioned...
