The company would go bankcrupt if it weren't for me. <br /><br />I'm currenting editing using the cool voice technique H.L Dyer explained yesterday on the QT blog. Maybe I should do a stats list on the number of overwritten sentences, typos, missing words, extra words, and my favorite " . . . testosterone throbbing through his veins." (First chapter of my YA contemporary novel). Apparently I had a mental lapse and thought I was writing a historic romance with the throbbing manhood line. :DStinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-46688344999214358072009-10-21T21:20:02.997-06:002009-10-21T21:20:02.997-06:00OH MY GOSH!

I need to be keeping track of my own stats, but they might be too nutty to keep track of?

I'm actually trying to alter an unfinished category into a single title, so I'm at the beginning trying to figure out how to add scenes and keep a great hook and pacing. Blech. <br /><br />On an up note, CONGRATS! That's awesome you finished. :-) I love ginger ale.
