Somehow, it happened again! Manuscript #9 is now off to my wonderful editor. Now, to sleep 😄

[Sam Ledel 🏳️‍🌈 @sam_ledel]

@glass_jar I've only reread one book, and that's bc it was assigned in both hs and college courses. For the reason you mentioned, I've been too nervous to reread anything! Glad it seems to have worked out for you 🙂

Me today, as I frantically work to meet my deadline 😅
