Editing Dilemma

I’m currently trying to put distance between myself and my manuscript for a period of time, to allow for proper editing. A trusted writing colleague has offered to take possession of it to ensure I will be able to stay away.  The length of time is to be determined by me.

However, the idea of it being at a different location scares the bejeysus out of me. But I am tempted.

The one thing stopping me is the fear that the authorities will be called if I try to break down the door to get at my manuscript, after sleepless nights of hearing my characters. You know those nights, when you make corrections and additions in your head, no pen in sight.

Oh, what to do?
