Ahhhhh ....I am happy today. I finished (this round of) edits on Torched yesterday and sent the manuscript to a couple of beta readers. Even though I've already got some GREAT feedback and suggestions (from Caroline, who is incredibly insightful and amazing), I'm not letting myself touch the novel for a week. Then I'll revise, and afterward send it to some other writer friends who mentioned they'd be willing to beta read (right guys? *bats eyelashes*).
But for today, I am taking a break. By break, of course, I mean I will tackle the mountain of chores I've been putting off while I swam around in Revision Sea. Does anyone else do this--shove everything besides writing to the side until the draft is done?
I feel like a groundhog who's just poked her head up out of the dirt and am blinking at the sunlight and muttering, "Oh right, there's the rest of the world out here!" And of course I have a cute nasally voice, because all groundhogs do.
Okay, time to terrorize the kitties with the vacuum cleaner ...
What were you up to this weekend? Seems like every writer I know was slogging through revisions. Do you turn into a hibernating groundhog when you're working on a project? What does your groundhog voice sound like??

Congrats on getting the revisions done! Don't forget to have some fun while you're catching up with "real" life.
As for my revising, sometimes I'm a groundhog and sometimes not. Mostly, depends on what's going on in my "real" life. My voice, if I got to choose, would be deep and throaty. Normally, it's a bit nasal.
@ Connie - thanks! I did make time for shopping :) A deep and throaty groundhog voice: one to take seriously! lol
