That's great, Deb!

Deb! Wonderful!
Btw, I am looking your essay over tonight and plan to send comments either late or in the morning--inertia and snow overpowered my will to work today.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
It's about frickin' time the local press gave me a bit of support, damnit.
Kristin, thankee, ma'am. I'm hoping to wrap this shortly. Do you have the most recent iteration? I've on round three of edits, and it's very close.

Deb, I only have the second draft. Do you have a newer version? Is it even worth me giving you feedback at this point? I can do it now, if so.

I'm assuming I have the latest as you sent it this morning...? Prisoner at the inlaws at the moment but I had a few little picky word choice comments (mostly glowing praise) to offer since it was quite polished in the form I got it. I can send it (I tracked changes in word) tonight when I get home.

Kristin, definitely. I'll send you most recent. Changes aren't huge, but they might be telling. Brynn, pretty sure you have the most recent.

I've just completed a marathon edit on an article that will only make me $10. Nothing like waking up behind. Damn.(Editor's in Munich, not ME as I assumed...had to tap-dance around six hour time diff.) And why didn't anyone tell me I punctuate like a feral child? Felt like such a loser. But I made it. Barely.

If some nice person could assemble me a very simple, yo-tech(almost no-tech) explanation of preparing manuscripts properly with Microsoft Word, I'd much appreciate it. Y'all have been so generous, I didn't know that I didn't know, and "Beg Deb for help," isn't always a choice. Also, anyone have a favorite punctuation refresher book?
