Luckily for you, my comment editing options don’t allow me the use of blue (pencil) or red (pen) to correct egregious errors by my commenters.

And I must say, the analogies and metaphors in your book must be pretty tame, if you had such a graphic reaction to mine.

Well, I do have a lot of practice at being a proud father.

Somehow, Kestrel, you managed to evoke a picture of literally giving birth to a liquidy, messy, 200+ page manuscript, umbilical cord and afterbirth included. It wasn’t a pretty sight, but you did it, and somehow I can’t help but feel relieved. If anything, my sense of relief actually reinforces that imagery. o.O

Irregardless*, thanks for the support! I look forward to working with you sometime in the future, either through the editing process, or as continued support for next year’s NaNoWriMo.

*hugs Kestrel* Of course it made the journey smoother! Having you and Krizz there made it so much more fun and so much easier to go through the ups and downs of NaNo! Frankly, with all the support I have been getting, it has been ups all the way!

I am proud and giddy right now, and if it was not so absurdly late here, I would turn on loud music and dance. As it is, I will have to limit myself dancing on your blog. *dances*.

Thanks again for being there, and again, you sound like a proud father. Which is just as well, because you get to soon be the copy-editing dad of my newborn novel. You are not free yet *grins*
