Quibbling...

A process note:
That scene I scribbled out in the outline? Then said I would probably put it back in?

I wrote it, took it out and saved it elsewhere, and just now stuck it back in.

Indecision....a normal part of the process for me.

It's really fun when your editor says take it out, then tells you to put it back in, then her boss comes along and says take it out. Oh yes it is!

Thank heavens for computers where we can save earlier versions and excised text....

Nothing is ever deleted. It's just moved to the file marked "Things I took out" and saved for another day...

Now I'm trying to write this very short Christmas story, having just finished a novel, and not make exploding turkeys a factor in the plot! :)

(Please tell me these are exploding cooked turkeys)

Well that's a thought I suppose...

Exploding Frozen Turkeys could be pretty lethal...

Oy! Too much Dr. Who!

Ah, I was picturing exploding live turkeys, which would be messy. Not that exploding frozen turkeys wouldn't...but I'd rather clean up after the latter. ;o)
