Hey, WTF? Why can't I see peep's profile addy's any more?
Are you sure they are displaying it?
Don't I get a cookie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Hmm. I poked around, ita, and you're right. As usual.
It's just coincidence that the last three people I looked for profile addy's didn't have one, and I assumed I tweaked my CSS wrong.
ASSUMPTIONS. PFFT.

Oops. My profile addy was turned off. I thought it was on for some reason.
I'm getting close to finishing my revision of chapter 2 (chapters 2 and 3 of the rough draft). Not that anything is really locked down at the moment, just working through the changes I already know I want to make and fixing various things.

not your mom's socks.
AUGH how is it that revision is actually weakening this story. That's not supposed to happen.

Maybe it'll be like setting a bone, painful at first but necessary to heal.
Nice essay, Erin. I only made a couple of notes, but I really liked the metaphor.

Good Luck!
One of these days I need to revise my short story 'Adventures of Lloyd' and submit it someplace. It's a parody of fantasy stories so I'd need to find a welcome market for that sort of thing. Meanwhile, I made it through chapter 2 and I'm working on revising chapter 3.

I sent the query and submission out this evening!
Gud, I'll keep an eye out for possible markets for your story.
Thanks for your feedback!

Personal whine, whine, whine. My old editor resigned. My new editor wants changes. On the bright side he is willing to tell me what he wants changed rather than editing a representative sample and saying "edit the rest that way".

Because books.
If you were through with revisions, why is he asking for more? Weren't you at or close to the copyediting stage?
