Thought I'd mention some writerly stuff today. Gotta mention it sometimes. Just got my long-awaited edits from St. Martin's for my first soon-to-be-published novel. And it wasn't bad at all. Mostly I was surprised at how polite my editor was, asking if we couldn't change a word here or delete a line there. Gosh, I'm used to newspaper editors who just hack it away without looking back. To be asked was infinitely more civilized. I agreed with every one of them, too (I'm so easy). I was also asked to add more details here and there so as not to rush the prose (a tendency of mine. Gotta curb that.) But all in all, it's looking good. Can't wait to move this sucker along and see what happens next! Stay tuned!

Congratulations to a fellow writer! I'm writing a Great Medieval Science Fiction Masterpiece, which has turned into three books, and I'm only on the first draft!
