Since I can’t actually turn into an editing superheroine with a red pen sword, here’s Rukia from Bleach ready to kick butt. She’ll provide inspiration while I turn around revisions on Animal Attraction. Which my editor did not threaten to have me drug-tested over! Yay! In fact she said things like “sexiest book I’ve ever read” and the word brilliant was used without sarcasm. The truth is, I always turn in a book thinking I’ve gone too far and in this case I thought I’d gone way over the edge. It is a risky book. But I thought it worked and I am so relieved my editor agrees. Now to take editorial notes and make it all pretty. Rukia will help.
Bleach has an amazing cast of characters, btw. Excellent writing. I don’t know how he does it, there’s an absolutely huge character cast and they’re all fascinating. You can read the manga or buy the first two seasons of the anime on DVD and see for yourself.
My love for Renji knows no limits.
Even if his Bankai does look like a giant tapeworm.
And yay on the book! Further proof that taking risks is the way to get ahead. *takes notes*
Who is this Renji you speak of? Oh, yeah, freeloader-san. *ggg*
Thanks, Kerry! Taking risks is, um, risky, but it can pay off. And I think you have to write risky to get the good stuff. You can always tone it down if you have, in fact, gone too far.
Yay! Glad to hear that she REALLY likes it. 🙂
You can get those edits done in a snap. Go Charli! Go Charli!
Love me some Bleach.
Jordan, it’s a huge relief. And cause for celebration! : )
I am hunkered down with my edits and have clarified a couple of points I had questions about. Full speed ahead!
Bleach will be a nice reward when I’m done. Bankai!
I have to admit that until I clicked the link I had no idea who or what Bleach was. LOL
I obviously need to get out more. 🙂
NJ, I love it, but not everybody is into manga/anime. : )
