Edits!
Just zooming through—I’m in the middle of accounting for Husband’s business, and he really hates when I get distracted in the middle of check-writing.
But I got my initial edits for Roadtrip! Woohoooo! I’m incredibly excited, because it’s kind of like a stepping stone. The next step, and all that jazz.
Of course, I haven’t opened the attachment yet.
Stay tuned.
*zoooooooooooom*

I, meaning me, am, apparently, a comma whore.
Oops.

um…. under track changes, you can go… “accept all changes” and finish those edits in a record breaking 28.5 seconds.

:???: MELLL!!! You need to subscribe to the read it five times before sending it back to your editor rule!:cry:

Hmmm…why is my :???: broken?
I don’t know. I’ll have to investigate. After my comma-reduction, of course.
Tragically, I just did a chapter by chapter word count, and I’m considering taking a long walk off a short pier.

I think I heard five times, but I dunno…. must just be the wind in my ears.
oh, and Shan? you’re certifiable. Chapter by chapter word count? I thought *I* was bad.
Just DO IT. Quit obsessing. I swear, there’s not a reader out there who gives a flying crap if one chapter is 289 words more than the one before it. Or even 2890 more. Honest.
oooh, can I? really? wait for it… wait for it….

OOOH YEAH (been dying to do this….)

Well, you know, the chapters have to be a minimum word count, and chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 didn’t make it.

Mel’s never heard of a minimum word count for chapters and is gonna pretend she didn’t hear Shannon say that.

That’s cause you write loooooooooooong.
I…don’t.
