This Christmas I was--for me--ahead of schedule. I sent out the cards, I bought the gifts and wrapped them. Then my editor sent Daddy Wanted to me for preliminary edits. I decided the Christmas cookies will have to wait.
Last night, I finished combing through the edits. I've removed many of the obnoxious thats peppering the manuscript. I spell checked the document and discovered I spelled interrogation incorrectly. :^(
I printed out the whole thing and began reading through it today. I've found some little mistakes so I'm glad I decided to give it another look.
I can always buy cookies.

Now I am feeling guilty. Maybe someone will gift some cookies to you... ;)
Yeah, you can buy cookies, decorated no less.
Finishing your edits is your gift to yourself.
Yes, must remember that spell check is my friend. I found a couple after I finished uploading the book. Thank heavens you can make a correction easily.
Jacqueline,
I'm counting on somebody bringing a batch of cookies when they visit. :^)
Don't feel guilty. I had a wonderful excuse to get more help from the family.
Pepper,
Yes, the cookies in the store have fancy icing on them. :^)
Most of the time I make bar cookies. They're so much less work.
Very true, but then you miss the cookie dough. Merry Christmas!
You didn't tell us how many "Thans" they took out...
Merry Christmas!

Mark,
I know I didn't remove ALL the offending words, but I eliminated many of them.
