Edit Check In

Editing check in time!  Here's an incomplete list of some of the goofy things I've written on the print out of my first draft. 

  • "fiancé" is French.  Is there a masculine and feminine version? Does it matter?
    • Is there a way to make it clear that "fiancé" is pronounced with an amazing Texan accent?
    • Then I have written "More accents!"  By which I mean embracing the spirit rather than writing things phonetically.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but that's it's own blog post.
  • Find the origin of "the jig is up."  It sounds like something you don't realize is racist.
  • How do you bake fruit pie from scratch?
    • hands on research is important
    • also chicken with mushrooms in cheese sauce?  Is that a thing?
    • there's a word for cheese sauce.  Find it.
  • Research muscles 
    • suck it up and just don't look at the gross pictures.
  • Research knots
    • and braiding
    • in the margin is written "friendship bracelets made by sailors."
 Stay tuned for answers to obvious questions and more than you ever wanted to know about pie!
