Of course that will mean an extra hour on the treadmill each week.

Maybe in honor of Valentine's day I'll give myself a big box of chocolates and reward myself with one each time I edit a chapter. :)kahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789825860272178765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-18668447012581585452010-02-04T19:25:29.773-05:002010-02-04T19:25:29.773-05:00Congrats on the chapter five.

Once I finish a revision, a little distance is required before I give it a final read. So what if I slip in novel, a bottle of wine, or a couple of hours wiling away on the internet while I'm waiting? :)VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-36926315357263652242010-02-04T01:36:04.475-05:002010-02-04T01:36:04.475-05:00Sqrt(D): Chapters are challenges too! and Thanks! ...Sqrt(D): Chapters are challenges too! and Thanks! me too :)<br /><br />Stephanie: I think wine definitely counts!
