Here it is open and sitting on my end table...
It is kind of nice to hold it in my hands. It makes it feel more real. Now I take deep breaths as I prepare to read. Oh yeah, and edit. Or, maybe I could have something to eat, watch a movie, take a shower, and then edit.

I couldn't get the pictures right. Argh!!!!!!
Oh, it's soooo pretty! Don't you just love hard copy?
It feels so old school doesn't it? I love seeing my work in print! It's strange how effectively you can edit that way verses on the computer.
You go, girl : )!!!!!!!!! So proud!
Cindy - thank you!!!! I love a hard copy totally!!! :-)
T. Anne - yes...I see it as: PROGRESS! :D Not for anything, but I don't think I will ever be new school. he he
KLo - thank you girllll!!!! :-D As of now, I have just admired its beauty. LOL
Traci, I finished your book! I'm going to email you a critique tonight or tomorrow. The printout looks awesome!
So pretty! I love printing a hard copy. It feels more real.
Huge Congrats! You've reached a goal. That's great. Now the journey begins.
May you boldly go . . .

Nothing quite beats that first feel of your hard copy ms! And yours *does* look beautiful! Enjoy it & may it have a wonderful, successful journey!
Congrats on finishing! I'll be there in a couple of weeks with my WIP! So I know how you feel!
Congratulations!
Enjoy the feeling of it.
Yours looks so nice and pretty...mine is a paper mess!!! But the 2nd draft will be prettier...maybe I'll even put it in a binder? hmmmmmm....
Blogger + Inserting Pictures = Major Frustration . . . which is why I normally don't put pictures on my blog. ; )
Congrats on the printing. You sound an awful lot like me when it's time to edit. Gee, I really think the grout in the show needs to be scrubbed with a miniscule toothbrush before I begin that editing.
Forget the excuses (okay, the lyrics to Jesus Christ Superstar just popped into my mind - I'm the source of all information that is pretty much useless, but I'm good to have on your side in a trivia match . . . unless I freeze) and get to editing. We all want to raise a margarita in your honor once your published.

Glam - got it! What a beautiful gift!!! Love ya LOTS!! :-)
Lisa and Laura - me too!! I keep looking at it. Notice I said...looking! LOL
Kim - Yes! The journey begins and I embrace the process positive and negative. ;-) Let's see if I say that after the first beta reads.
NA Sharpe - thank you!! ;-)
Ann - thank you for the warm wishes! :-)
Judy - much luck to you too! :-)
Martin - ;-) thank you!!
Marybeth - stick that puppy in a binder! Hope you are feeling better!!!
Scott - LMAO!!!!! That's exactly what I'm doing. I believe I was singing that song in the shower! LOL Silly! ;-)
Antibiotics work wonders. I am feeling better :) Thanks!
I may have to go out and purchase a pretty binder today!
Get thee to the store and buy a pretty binder. Make a pretty title page with a graphic too! ;-)
Yay for your printed manuscript! It feels so much realer when it's off of the computer screen and sitting in your hands.
*Yayness cookies*
Yay for you!!!! Isn't that awesome?! I can't wait until I start printing...I love the sound of the printer chugging out pages and pages....but I hate the weight of all those words I have to edit!
Oh, I love your hard copy - it's so pretty, and makes me want to print one of my own MS.
Unfortunately, I am too cheap to print mine out except for once in the editing process, but I really should because you pick up so many more typos and other errors that way!
Beth - I hear ya!! Totally! I actually got a critique that made me want to edit today. :0) Cool! I sort of feel like it's a beginning. Like I'm back in the game!
Kate - I figured out that if I print it as a "draft", it doesn't use as much ink. I have plenty left. I feel like I can get more done with a printout. :-)
Windsong - mmmmm yayness cookies!!! Love them...they have less calories than the other kind! ;-)
yay!!!!
Traci, Congrats and good for you! What's next?
Oh,oh, I can't wait to do that. I'm waiting until my edits are really COMPLETE! I'm willing to bet you felt soooooo good! :)
Courtney - Thanks! ;-)
Debra - Lots of editing! :-D
Robyn - It felt wonderful! I feel like I can really dig in and edit better this way. :-)
Congratulations!!! That's a very exciting step.
Thanks Davin!!! ;-) I just feel like it's a step in moving forward.
