Conversations With My Editor

Me: Just remember I’ll be in bed by 9. Exam tomorrow.

Editor: What time is it there?

Me: It’s almost 9, but I’ll be up for a bit* yet.

Time passes…

Me: Dammit, woman, say something. Or are you efoting?

Me: Uh, I mean editing.

Editor: I’m efoting.

Me: I think I’m keeping that word.

Overtired editing silliness.

* There was a page in the manuscript where I used the words ‘a bit’ four times. She later used it against me. Evil editor.
