It's official.
So why am I still holding my breath??
I just sent my first book to the publishers. I've shown previews of it on here before, but until today I hadn't sent it to print - mostly because I kept second-guessing my proof reading & layouts. So I've spent the best part of a year tweaking it & hovering my cursor over the 'send' button. I sent screen prints of the entire thing to jessalie-aranya for her to proof-read, knowing that if there was anything left to find she would - & she did. So then, knowing it was as correct as I could humanly make it, I still only hovered over the send button.
Until today.
Now, even though it's now in their [hopefully] capable hands, I'm still a big ball of stress. I feel much like a large tangle of wool looks... or something to that effect. The publisher offer widgets to embed on websites that show previews of the book in flash - giving the feel of turning pages - so I'll make one of them up shortly-ish.
I wouldn't mind some bug spray for all the butterflies in my stomach though.
