You don’t go in ORDER, do you? LOL! ;-)</i> Umm, yeah, actually I do. LOL! Start at the top, keep going. Not necessarily all in one session, although usually it is, so far; that's the one benefit to writing short stories. I'm <i>not</i> looking forward to edits once I get my novel finished and submitted. O_O Angie So how do you do edits? You don’t go in ORDER, do you? LOL! ;-)

I hope you don't mind if I adopt it for my own use. Normally I just brew coffee and mutter, which is not much of a system... What a great system, Natasha!

They have them for keys, too, right? I should put them on their collars, LOL! That's great, Robin! It was funny, but now it sounds practical, too! She was good! Hah!

Do they have beepers for cats like the ones on cordless phones? That would be a great solution! I think it's cool that you even have an editor! My editor was my mother-in-law. I have to admit - she was pretty good. I never thought of the problem with having cats while living in a camper. Do they have beepers for cats like the ones on cordless phones?

I have no idea where she went. She did it again this morning, right before breakfast. I was so annoyed, because it was RIGHT after I'd slipped outside. I was afraid again that she'd gotten outside, LOL! I think she is sneaking behind the furnace and frig, but there is no way for me to get back there. I have no idea how she's getting back there, but it's the only remaining possibility! Melanie, I think I spend more time on the Procrastination passes than on any other part!

Yeah, isn't that funny? That sounds like a great system. I never have that sort of time when editing friends, so I generally stick to the bigger picture. With myself, I just constantly edit, and pull back for the larger picture when necessary. LOL, Amy! Yeah, isn’t that funny?

It does make things easier! I like to start every morning with a little tweaking. It gets the gears greased and wheels turning! I edit as I write, too. It does make things easier!
