I think I broke my editor.

OMG.

Eight page edit letter for Carnival. Ten point type. Single-spaced.

Fortunately, it's almost all stuff I wanted to do in the original draft before I ran out of space.

I wonder if she'll give me another ten K to do it in....

Your icon gave me a spontaneous flashback to junior high, playing Land of the Lost in the woods!

Did you see they put that out on DVD now? I'm a little frightened...

I got a 6-page letter for MY last offering - yes, single spaced, although I didn't check the font...

♪ In the land of the lost ♪

(Inevitably, when Terror sits me down to watch an episode of the series LOST, I sing that snippet from the old show)

Um, hi. :D

I've been reading your blog, which is pretty cool. I'm a freelance writer and wannabe fiction-writer, so reading what you have to say on the process of writing is really interesting.

I have one question, though--how do you run out of space in a book?
