I am sure Karen puts in a helluva lot of slogging – but she is more efficient. I am sloooooooooow. One bit at a time.

But as you say – what counts is the end product.

You both turn out superb books, Glenda and Karen. And you’re both gorgeous:-) Mind you, you could both be dead ugly and I’d still be jealous, because by crikey, youse sheilas can write!

Damn you, you made me drool. Now I shall be forced to put Karen into a higher tax bracket.

Trust me, I'm aging rapidly.

Wow. You surely do know how to embarrass a person, don't you?????

Thank you. I have to say, I've been forced into upping my early draft game by getting myself into an insane scheduling situation. It's a kill or be killed scenario. Tough, but I think it has helped me improve. The important point is that the readers don't have a clue how long it takes us to get somewhere, nor do they care. Your current WIP is a great series, and that's all they'll be thinking about when they read it.

Well I don’t know about the comparison of stages of writing, but you both turn out a good novel in the end no matter all the slogging that goes into it. I guess it can be frustrating if it seems so much easier to someone than it does for you. Youth does give a benefit in the looks department too, I have noticed that once or twice – or so.
