It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Susan, do you need a WIP editor for the particular scene? Willing, if you trust me and will tell me what you want toned/beefed. And you can always say ugh, not using any of this, but thanks.

I'll probably take you up on that, deborah. I'll have to actually type it in first--I've taken to doing rough drafts in longhand because that way I can't check Buffistas or my yahoo groups every time I get the least little bit stuck.

Susan, my email is the profile addy. Go for it, as needed.
Steph, re the back pain and the receptionist?
Interestingly, the bitch was wrong and there were about *5* rooms open. Cunt.
She has got to be related to Vicky, the Evil Bitch Twat of Death, office manager for my neurosurgeon. You don't even wanna know.....
But it certainly does sound as though your cool doc's evil assholic staff has been studying at Vicky's knee.

Susan, sometimes it's really useful to write a sidetrack scene, to get it straight in your head how the characters are reacting, even though the scene itself is not supposed to go into the finished book. Think of it as the 90% of the fiction berg you don't see....

That's a good point--especially since one of the challenges I'm facing in this scene is trying to find a way to hint that while James is putting on an impressive act of confidence, control, and seductiveness, what he's thinking is, "I've never been with a virgin before. I wish her eyes weren't that big and scared. I don't want to hurt her. How is one supposed to do this, anyway?"

Deb, will you be interested in an across-the-ocean not-well-enough-with-her-English reader (I'm from Israel)? Because if you do, I second Deena here.
