Ok, the *best* part of doing line edits is finding the smilies and hearts that my editor leaves in the margins, especially when she puts them next to bits that I particularly like. My seduction scene here has not just a smiley, not just a heart, but a smiley surrounded by *two* hearts. *silly giggles* I must also confess that when she said AUGH REWRITE THE END that writing a totally happily-ever-after ending was…really fun.

Wretched brain is all happy with the drawing and then suddenly crashes ’cause it’s half cheated and traced and why can’t I get those proportions right WITHOUT tracing it and waaaaaaaaaail! *smacks brain around a bit* Speaking of crashing, does anybody own “Crash” (the Oscar-winning film from this year) on DVD and could snurch me a screenshot?
