The Waiting Game

Finished the rewrite (or so I think) last night. I emailed Amy-the-book-doctor and asked if she could start reading in five minutes (slight exaggeration). She said she couldn't start until the 26th - that's 12 WHOLE DAYS. She also suggested that it's a good idea after a rewrite to sit on it for a couple of weeks and then take another look before sending it out. Good advice, plus I have no choice.
