No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jilli, that's such fabulous news--go you!

erika, yay you, too! Having your stuff read is great. I keep wanting to read podfic for people. Alas, I have no podtech in my house.

Yay, Jilli! I can't wait to read it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A belated "Yay!" to Jilli. I am not at all surprised. Now I'm just waiting for it to come out, so that I can give copies to all my friends. They already have copies of Vampire People.

Editor question: "mission-driven" or "mission driven"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

How's it being used in the sentence? If it's something like "mission-driven goals", then it's hyphenated because it's an adjective.

Because books.

What Dana said. Most hyphenation is placement- and use-dependent.
