Editor Seeks Synonyms for "Hooray!"

I just got off the phone with the head editor from Dell Crosswords, and I got the job. Yay! My life has suddenly calmed down and I can stop scrambling from month to month with the risk of constant eviction hovering over me.

The bad news is the job doesn't start until the 15th, so a big thanks again to everyone who's sent me a little getting-through money.

I guess this means my plan until the 15th is a.) finish editing the crossword book (it's due by the 5th anyway), and then b.) use the remaining ten or so days to finish my novel-in-progress so I have TWO books to try and market. It might even be fun to try to sell poetry on the subway for a little cash, the bizarre experience, and the article that might eventually result.

Now if you'll excuse me, I think my body is going to collapse into a brief coma to counteract the last two months of raw unending tension.
