Carol A. Hand
Here I am, ‘though bleary eyed
after editing all day
I’d like to answer comments
but I’ve little else left to say
Two hundred pages done
Two hundred more to go
Some days the work seems easier
but progress is still so slow
Please forgive me for my late replies
and less frequent visits to your blogs
I just need time to rest weary eyes
while pondering nature’s beauty

and taking pictures of little dogs

Sending my best wishes to all and sincere gratitude for your patience.

Thank you for your thoughtful advice, Diana. It is very slow, but I passed the half-way point. The downside, though – I’m now on the roughest part of the manuscript with so many corrections and editorial decisions to make… 🙂
