It could be like one of those word puzzles---cryptogram?---so the judges would get a scene AND a fun game all in one! :) I've had this Brava novella for like 3 years now, waiting for me to work up the nerve. Maybe I should just get really drunk and send the thing. 8 pt Edwardian Script? Oh, come on.

No. And, get to work on that thing. We want to add one more publisher to your credits. Oh man, have you ever done the opposite where you write in courier then switch to TNR just to see how many pages you lose ::shudder:: I did have to chuckle when I saw the galleys for YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY. The books was 394 courier pages when it left my house. It returned as 297 galley pages. Where did those 100 pages go?!?! Patricia - I fear people say that about me :) Shannon – Don’t send in your Brava entry in wingdings. No. And, get to work on that thing. We want to add one more publisher to your credits.

Wonderful feeling. HelenKay based on your answers here you are going to do wonderfully at your authors panel. Your answers were intelligent and funny. Love that. Good luck.

THEN I go and change it courier double spaced and ALL these pages magically appear. It makes me so happy. While writing, I use times new roman single spaced.

I accidentally turned one of my manuscripts to wingdings while editing. Not sure if my finger twitched or the mouse spazzed or what, but it made editing a <i>lot</i> harder. So two out of two romance authors recommend not using that font. I couldn’t resist. :) I think the discussion sounds wicked fun, and I bet you’ll have a blast.
