1. hm…doesn’t novel have a certain length that is within the definition of what makes it a “novel”…I wonder what it is. What is it, poem, short story, novella, novel?

   • You’re right, I think Agnes is unclear on the concept. She’s in WAY over her head. 🙂

     • oh yeah, throw epic poem in there before short story…she is definitely biting off more than she can chew :0)

2. I’m most definitely shooting for good.

   Pfft, you’re already on target to overshoot that goal!

   • I love your pfft. I heard it as I read it. 🙂

     Thanks for the vote of confidence, Melodye. I sent off my revisions yesterday and am very pleased with the changes.

3. Silly Agnes 😉

   • Agnes is a silly, isn’t she? We could tell her a thing or two about this whole novel-writing business.

4. Uh…I think you can scratch off “write good novel” from your list.

   • I love this comment. Thank you much, Tracy. You helped make that novel even better. 🙂

5. it made me laugh! I was thinking how many people think like her when they start writing.

   • There are tons of people who think this way. We have to laugh because otherwise we’d cry. 🙂

6. I’d like to be both good and prolific. But I’d choose good if I had to make a choice.

   • I’m with you, Barbara! Let’s shoot for good and prolific, with an emphasis on good.

7. i agree. and she’s got to get rid of that Debby Downer next to her!

   • You think Trout is a Debby Downer? I guess you’re right. She does have a tough row to hoe as Agnes’ best/only friend. Reality checks are a requirement.
