I prefer "poignant." :)
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
That's why I love you.

These drabbles are really good for me to write. I'm a little surprised by what comes out sometimes.
I should learn to trust my writing voice more.

Going Home
She’d been making this trip for eight months. When spring had started she had enjoyed the trip down from Rome: watching trees bud with life, the sprouting wheat, life burgeoning in the pastures. It was a joy to see her sister thriving in the little cottage outside Pompeii.
Now, she was going down to bring Rossana home. The baby was going to a nice couple in Naples, they owned a little pastry shop in the Piazetta Marinelli. They were grateful that their childless state was ended. Emilia hated them. They had the baby and all Rossana had was a casket.

I'm putting together a proposal. What are realistic time frames for the following and what are they called. (For an 80,000 word highly technical, heavily footnoted work) ( I know that all but the last are considered part of the editing process, but are there formal terms I should use?)
1) Fact Checking
2) Reviewing and determining revisions needed.
3) time frame for light, medium and heavy revisions to be completed
4) Copy editing
5) Formatting and graphics (very light to moderate on the graphics) - to end up with an electronic version of the actual book.

Because books.
Gar, what exactly is the proposal for? Because all of that stuff, and how long it takes, is pretty much determined by the publisher.

Not a publisher. A institute is considering releasing my book as a study, and would obviously have to do these things. OK -so I won't put numbers on them. I'll let them fill in the numbers.

I'm still confused -- even if they release it as a study (in book-like form, I'm assuming), wouldn't they take care of that end of it?
I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just not sure what you need.
