The week in summary

As of Monday I had a book deal, at final galley stage. The week in summary:

Monday - Suggestion that they would not be able to exploit publicity/distribution. Offered a release.
Tuesday - Accepted the release. Back to submitting to agents. Arranged a fallback to self-pub just in case.
Wednesday - Contacted an established UK house for permission to submit unagented. Came away with a request for the full*.
Thursday - Checked manuscript, dotted i's crossed t's made sure it was as perfect as possible. Posted it.
Friday - Reading writing forums, extremely frazzled and biting fingernails.

*there are no words to discribe the mix of elation and sheer stark terror experienced at this point.

All I can think now is, please let this work out.
