Her, italics. Me, pain.

Oooh, it's a...word! *is shocked*
I did a blog, because of miscommunication you don't get it today, maybe tomorrow.
Wtf?
I've been editing THE HARLEQUIN. I've got about two hundred pages read and sticky noted. The manuscript is about 690 pages, but that has nothing to do with how many pages the actual book will be. Depending on type face used it can be bigger than that in print, or half that size. So when I tell you guys how big a book is in manuscript, it tells you only how much info, or story is in the book, not printed page count.
We aren't stupid. We know that a final page count from you is going to be much different and (universe willing) much higher than what the publisher kicks out. Really.
The book reads well, I'm happy with it so far, which is pretty good since I haven't quite recovered from writing it. I got past one of the scenes today that I did so many versions of that I honestly didn't remember which version I kept.
We don't even want to know after having a look at that prime example of a run-on sentence.
It was interesting to read the final cut, so to speak. That's it for me today. Good night, folks.
It's a final brain puke for you, but it's not actually a final cut. A final cut would be a finished, polished, publishable product.
Oh wait. I forgot. It's her world. If she says it's a final cut, then I guess that's what it is and everyone else be damned.
