Your posts are killer! Hilarious! I hate editing. Hate it.

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm getting nervous about doing revisions. My goal is to begin later this month. I wonder if I will have any Starburst Jelly beans left.

ReplyDeleteHi Robyn .. I struggle reading my blog posts and I really shouldn't. The thought of editing a whole book is rather more than I care to think about!! Love the thought though of Chapter and Writer settling down together for some long-term editing .. Cheers Hilary
