Hey, Dan,<br /><br />Very exciting!<br /><br />I agree with your use of slow--and I love the image of bits creeping away--maybe you could add that. With transport, I was just trying to cut down on bike repetition, and I liked the alliteration, but you're right. It's too much. Vehicle was too much, too. "Wheels" is too silly. I think I'm overthinking it. Which brings me to over with. Two words. I was probably thinking of overthinking.<br /><br />I have to think (ha!) about the best way to approach the putting-together phase. I have structured and restructured novels many times, but not here at EW. I sometimes offer novelists a second edit of a work for free, because I think there needs to be some back and forth, but this is more than just looking at all the separate stories again; as you said, some will need to be altered and the order and connection of the pieces has to be doped out. &nbsp;I'll check with my managing editor. In the meantime, I'm going to start to look at your file and see what might work with all the pieces I already have. It might be less work than we think, and I don't want to charge you a single penny unnecessarily.<br /><br />Thanks, Dan!<br /><br />
