Can this relationship be saved?

I feel as if I received a pardon, for the copy edited manuscript is done and I’ve waded through the tax swamp without being sucked down into the quicksand. Now I can catch my breath and start chatting with my readers again! Lots of interesting historical occurrences in the month of March, so I’ll be kept busy trying to catch up. Meanwhile, here is another update about those eagles in need of marital counseling, Liberty and Justice. They seem to have reconciled, but he is continuing his wandering ways and how patient will she be? They need to keep an eye peeled for a sneaky raccoon, too.

message 1: by Asghar (new)

Asghar Abbas I am glad that it wasn't that problematic. When you first posted about this, it sounded really bad. I was wondering how can an editor do that, not even without telling you. But changing your words. I mean, that is just wrong.

I am glad things worked out.

Happy for you

and for the book.

Sharon I was not a happy camper, Asghar. But my editor was great about it all.


message 3: by Amy (new)

Amy I remember talking about this kind of thing when we heard about how the editor changed Robert Frost's poem. I'm sorry you had to deal with it as well.

PS - I am about in the middle of Saints, and pretty impressed with Matilda! I didn't think she had it in her... :) I'm still hoping it goes Maude's way though... (no spoilers, I didn't go back this far in history class! ;) LOL)

Sharon I really enjoyed writing about Matilda, Amy, for her character was like a butterfly emerging from a confining cocoon. She was as surprised as anyone by what she was able to do when the need arose. That is probably true for most of us, though I am not sure I'd have been up to leading an army to lay siege to Winchester.
