I like envelopes. This has to be the best part of the whole story. Do you think we get too carried away with it though?
ReplyDeleteNo, I've changed my mind. Even when the letter sections get really insanely long, I still like them. I say we keep them as is, and let an editor decide what to cut, what to keep.
ReplyDeleteThat means finding the right editor to sell the story to, who won't butcher everything. It really is unique and the story within the letters is powerful, so we have to do this. Submit it and sell it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you are brilliant for starting the envelopes.
ReplyDeleteI concur! I love the envelopes and all the interesting funny characters that appear on them. I didn't quite know how to introduce on them on the blog...except for to announce that it was an envelope.....
ReplyDeleteYes, the editor has a right find job there. That's what they are paid for or whatnot so I think they should deal with it.
Lol 'too much beer' and the 'bet' you mention forshadows what happens in the letter from Mirth.

Oh right...revisions....hey, so I was wondering--I think I need to make it more clear that Ironhoof is a horse...do you?
ReplyDeleteIronhoof is a very good horse name and since you mention he is the son of Star (which is also a very good horse name) and you mention the breed, its fine.
ReplyDeleteIt never confused me.
oh good.
