I'm just seneaking a review of your book onto an LJ post. I don't feel I should hunt up yoour email -- you must be overwhelmed already.
I loved it. I LOVED IT. It made me laugh. You are brilliant.
I wish I could quote lines, because that's what a good feedbacker would do. But I've got deadlines too, and I'm terminal. I'm a shade of a human being.
I would say one thing, though: the burnout? totally normal. It's the stress poisons. Hitting the mark requires massive adrenaline and it's completely normal to feel snappish, depressed and empty after such an achievement. (Pity me! Saving deadlines is my effing job.)
You have a great career ahead of you. You have the blend of humor, humility and professionalism that makes a career. You'll also bring some good funny to the world. Yay.
All the best to you, Cleolinda. I LOVED your book.
