It sounds like you're doing really great...hang in there!tricki_nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09498830892805025194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-11665887857935705542008-08-28T20:58:00.000-07:002008-08-28T20:58:00.000-07:00I hate that, it's the worst.

It feels more humane that way.Alison Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764321314666554990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-58316407212457404712008-08-28T16:23:00.000-07:002008-08-28T16:23:00.000-07:00Hahaha!

They need to cut 20 pages. And I can't even imagine how painful it must be for him. Becuase I'm lamenting it like crazy: "NOooo! Not the Coffee shop scene!" and other nonsense. My darling's darlings have somehow become my darlings too. (Well, I guess if they ARE his babies, who better to love them than ME?!) Okay, I'm rambling. Sorry.<BR/><BR/>As for the butchery (love that) I suggest dressing in one's bathrobe. Possibly for days on end. :)<BR/><BR/>Congrats on all the great feedback. This last step (while painful) will be SOooo worth it! Good luck!charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-54906085637147331342008-08-28T11:09:00.000-07:002008-08-28T11:09:00.000-07:00Yeah, this is a tough gig.

I eventually just had to chop the first few chapters and cut straight to where the action starts. <BR/><BR/>I really liked those first few chapters, too.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369952902975144773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-81992866699236044102008-08-28T08:33:00.000-07:002008-08-28T08:33:00.000-07:00ugh, hard work.
