Holly Black and the new book

Posted on the Squeetus Blog December 02, 2005 08:18 PM PST.
I can't believe I forgot to put this in before. Holly Black read 
an early copy of Razo's book (I revealed the new title in the 
newsletter, but I promised I wouldn't do here for two weeks). She agreed
 to give me a blurb--my first blurb from another writer! She gave me 
three choices:
"Shannon Hale will steal your last water bottle."
"Shannon Hale is the r0x0rz."
Or:
"Shannon Hale writes deft, lyrical, wonderful fantasy."
I turned in the final draft of Razo's book today! It's such a great 
feeling. Now it'll go to copy editing, which means a copy editor will 
look over it for consistency, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Then 
I'll get the copy edited manuscript back and agree or disagree with all 
the editor's suggested changes. We'll do that again once it goes to 
typesetting, so I'll read through the book at least two more times 
before it's printed, but the hard part is over. On to the next project! 
And to celebrate...we're having Chinese food. Actually, we just ate. Max
 is down for the night, my sister and brother are downstairs watching an
 episode of Justice League. I'd be watching it (it is the best show on 
television), but I just saw this episode the other day. Wonder Woman and
 Hawkgirl rock. And I have a secret crush on Batman. Don't tell.
