Printed off four copies of the manuscript, replaced the laser printer cartridge, drove out to Staples for manuscript boxes and another half-ton of paper, and generally washed DRAGON'S TEETH out of my head. Tomorrow I box it and mail to editor and agent. Since it won't hit the presses until sometime next year, that _should_ be that. For a while -- until copy-edits and proofs land on my front porch with impossible deadlines.
Now I can reset my brain to the 1970s and GHOST POINT, if I can remember who those characters were and what their little problem was.
