AmyLiz, I'm not actually settting a mental word length; it's just more that I know how much story I have left to tell, so it follows from there.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Kristin, sweetie, bring it to the F2F - Vortex was talking about the possibility of a get-together at her place, where I can sign and dedicate books.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Packing my copy, in the safe box with the tiara.

Most excellent! I shall pack it in my bag nestled in the fluffy softness of the boa.

Because books.
I'm very much enjoying the image of everyone sitting at their computers with tiaras sparkling and feathers drifting. And now I'm wondering why I don't have a tiara. Hmmm.
Good point, Deb. One of the problems with the book you saw part of was, it had to be within 50,000 words. But there was so much story to tell, a lot of (especially at the end) started getting the shorthand treatment. I could feel it...I'd look at the current page number, and then at what remained to be told in the outline, and shudder. I hate artificially imposed limits.

Oh, lovely, Teppy! The "built for reading" really hits home, too. But darnit, I wish you hadn't had to cut for length, I wanted it to be longer, wanted just a bit more. That's a good thing, right?
