It was fun to read through all of them. I was pretty excited to be a part of the madness.<br /><br />And congrats on staying positive--rewrites can be fun, but they can be tough, too.

I've already started plotting the next book in the series and after talking to said agent on the phone yesterday, she gave it a thumbs up so that's where my focus will be. I know how you're feeling right now, kind of a mix of excitement and anxiety, but a new project is a great distraction.
