Once I got everything corrected and worked out in the first 300 pages--which took about 1 year, I was able to write the next 650 pages in three months. Now that three months, was 7 days a week, from about 10:30 AM until 6 AM the following morning, with an hour's nap at 4 PM. That's about 130 hours a week.
Normally, people work between 35 and 40 hours a week. I was working about 3 times as many hours, so that three months on the last 650 pages is equal to nine regular working months.

OMG Farrah, are those just "goosebump" words? lol
Peggysue, a few of us have actually seen the hallowed office where Judith works from and I'm sure it is she who is replying Neverfear.

PS How about that Fiesta Bowl? I'm watching it now (wierd since I'm not a huge sports fan except for the Lakers, of course) but this is exciting. Go Buckeyes right?

Quite a few of us from the bb met Judith in 99 for the Texas Book Festival in Austin. She is just as she expresses herself on the bb....lovely and gracious.
