I do believe you, Deb. It's the *process* of having to unravel the pages for it that I'm finding tiring in the short-term. I know the story will come...it's chipping away the stuff that doesn't look like...Pelecanos, uh I mean David, that is...sometimes annoying.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Oh, I hear that - trust me. When Ruth offered to buy "Weaver", she did it on the basis of 213 manuscript pages, written with alternating chapters telling the modern story and the 19th century story. She offere with the caveat that I lose the entire 19th century story and rewrite it so that the modern characters did all the discovery. As she put it: "The interesting thing about these ghosts? Is that they're dead. It's the modern characters who make the book."
So yes, I do get the sudden drop at the pit of the tum, the whole "oh, shit, I have to do what...?"
But the book was a bazillion times better because of it. And the other result? Concentrating on the modern characters allowed it to become a series, rather than a one-off.

And, much like my social life, I have to do most of everything one-handed.

This isn't creative writing (much) but I am starting the scary process of sending out covers and resumes for teaching jobs.
Would anyone be willing to take a gander, for proofing, ideas, whatever? Feedback is SO good.

Kristin, insent.
Susan, thanks so much. I was following the one page resume rule; is that rule now dead?
