You know, it's that whole first five pages thing. :D<BR/><BR/>Bill - I love Erica's Revis-o-meter! Since I don't know how she did that one, I've added one that is showing page count vs. word count for now.<BR/><BR/>Patricia - Gotta love internet shopping. No crowds, you can shop in your pj's, and drink your favorite latte. <BR/><BR/>Ava - Good luck on Sunday. You can do it just be ready to make tons of trips to the car. :D<BR/><BR/>Leigh - I work edits from a hard copy. For me it is easier to bleed all over the paper and then go to the screen and make changes or...rewrite the entire scene.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521384704019863926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495862966543058553.post-66644614119669540182007-12-14T18:20:00.000-05:002007-12-14T18:20:00.000-05:00And I love, wrapping presents!And I <I>love,</I> wrapping presents!Leigh Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080517449825380527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495862966543058553.post-74711098448766079002007-12-14T18:19:00.000-05:002007-12-14T18:19:00.000-05:00I always leave my shopping to the last minute and ...I always leave my shopping to the last minute and then spend hours (in the last minute???) queuing.

I think it's the reason I later became an organist - I just <I>lurved</I> that organ music!<BR/><BR/>2) Miracle on 34th Street - because they wind up with the perfect house in Connecticut!<BR/><BR/>3) Sugar cookies with frosting<BR/><BR/>4) Christmas Eve. Seriously. As stated before, I take a zen approach to buying gifts - I let the present find me. And guess what? It works!<BR/><BR/>5) Not exactly, but if I find something I'd fogotten I owned that would be perfect for somebody else, I tend to send it off to them.<BR/><BR/>6) Whichever one I heard most recently (I tend to play them over and over in my mind).<BR/><BR/>7) Haven't had a tree recently - no one to share it with.<BR/><BR/>8) I tell the store clerk that if s/he won't wrap it, I won't buy it. (Works every time!)<BR/><BR/>9) Myself. I already have just about everything I want (except someone to share the tree with).<BR/><BR/>10) Same answer as Vicki (see number 7)Bill Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01828998021246511869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495862966543058553.post-86031300269430605762007-12-14T09:20:00.000-05:002007-12-14T09:20:00.000-05:00I revised the first 6 pages.
