Proofread? Who needs to proofread? Besides, images generated by typo are so much more interesting.


The true word count for the rewrite of A Rain of Angels:

*lol* Yeah, I knew there was no way you'd turned RoA into a short story. :P

[pjthompson]

lol--can you imagine?? Oh, the pain!

*does not EVEN WANT to imagine*

*shudders*

See my icon? If you transformed RoA into a ss, it wouldn't read "novel-rewrote." I would read "novel-gutted." :P

I really would have to gut it to get it down to 12k. Nightmare! But here's a funny thing. I played with fonts: SMF Arial 12 pt brings it down from 122k to 105k; SMF TNR 12 pt brings it down to 98k.

Guess which font I'm going to start submitting in? :-)

*nods* I made the same decision with TTD. :D Not too shabby when you can slice off a cool 20K. And if I can put 215K (heaven help me) instead of 235K on my query, I'll sure be doing it.
