Consuela, sounds good. Can you e me her name, so I know who to look for?
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

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

Her name is Janet, and I'll send you and her both an email introducing you, okay?

Absolutely.
Hmmmm. I wonder why yahoo is suddenly refusing to send anything to German mailservers? Please tell me those creepasses aren't part of ClearChannel?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hey. Did anyone who tried to download my book have any problems doing so?

Victor, I haven't tried to download it, because damned near everything I try to download is giving me issues. Pissing me off royally.

Hmm. Someone else had a problem. I've dropped support a note but I'm trying to see what's what.
Grrr. Technology sucks.

Ah. Tech support says the person accidently tried to buy a membership instead of buying the download. Beware of this! Evidently it's an easy mistake to make!

Oh. My. Lord.
I've just received the copy-edited manuscript for "The Weaver & the Factory Maid". They want it back by 11 April. No problem.
Oh, wait, there is a problem. A fairly large one. He's edited an obsolete version of the MS; Ruth Cavin, my publisher, requested changes that work up to about ten pages of additional material, about eight weeks ago. She requested them, I did them, she adored them, and they've never made it into this ms version.
Kill me now.
Oh, and there's also this:
1. He's changed all the UK spellings to American spellings. My Scots musician does NOT live next door to Tony Soprano. Now I have to change them all back again.
2. Far more infuriating? He's changed all the UK voicings. Trying to explain that Brits don't go down TO the pub, they go down the pub.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Oh, kick some ASS!
Don't you have a copy that includes the additional pages without his changes? Can you send it to him, explain what a clueless ass he is and that he'd better not do it again, and ask him to redo it with the appropriate material that had already been provided some time ago?

Deena, he isn't a dumbass on the unincorporated bits; he edited what he was given. I think my publisher got busy and forgot to add the changes. For the rest of it? A wee problem: the damned thing is supposed to go to galleys for an early release.
So I have messages in to both of them saying OK, I think I can print out the current edition and match up every single freakin' printers' instruction but you'd best tell me now.
Oh, and what's with the Noo Yawk paternalistic crapola? My characters are an Englishwoman and a Scotsman.
