I finished a fiction novel a couple weeks ago and kept thinking that it would have benefited from an editor being a little more stiff handed with it. I enjoyed reading the Ancient World volume and am looking forward to the next one (this time I'll try not to buy it for myself right before my birthday). I’m so glad that your editor is this helpful.

Letting us eavesdrop on the creative process is interesting and enjoyable. Glad for the update on the progress of volume 2 as well. can't wait to add it to my library. Volume 1 was an engaging read.

How often do you get to use that word? And I love that it is spelled with a double s and a double o. But alas, we must be willing to "murder our darlings." I really like lassoo.

Not that your CT editor would have known that. I vote with Ev and say "put it back." :) You can’t actually “lassoo” anything (although that it is an alternative pronunciation) — not trying to be a smart aleck, but it actually only has one “o” at the end — lasso.

I have just been reading some poorly edited articles and appreciate the difference. Thank you for letting us in on the creative and editorial process.

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:12:03 +0000 http://dev.susanwisebauer.com/blog/?p=375#comment-86211 lol. Your editor sounds like he has a sense of humor lol. I kinda like the domino analogy thing. And you can't give up the lassoo lol Don't take this the wrong way, but I really like your writing because it doesn't sound pretentious/snobby. Its not that you 'dumb things down', because you certainly don't, but, in my opinion, you make difficult concepts/subjects more accessible for people that don't necessarily have a background in that field. Don't give up any of your personal style for the sake of 'academic correctness'. lol. Your editor sounds like he has a sense of humor lol. I kinda like the domino analogy thing.

Makes me think of the wrong kind of Indian. Cute. With the phrase “conscious attempt” there, “lassoo” is a bit anachronistic, isn’t it? Makes me think of the wrong kind of Indian. Cute.
