It was supposed to be included in your Welcome to the Big Bad World of Writing package (sometimes it’s overlooked — but you can usually find it after the “If I Give You My Idea, You Can Write The Book, And We’ll Share The Money” worksheet).

Basically the formula is this:

Yes, we used invisible ink because this information could fall into the wrong hands, and that would be disastrous. Tinkering and worse could happen. You will find the recipe for revealing what is invisible in the same Welcome packet referenced earlier.

Also, violence never solves anything — but who cares when it feels good?

Even if it’s a female someone. LOL. I don’t discriminate. Anyone who made that comment deserves it.

And no, the revisions are not yet done, and I’m feeling like they may not ever get done, but that can’t happen because they have to be on my editor’s desk on Friday. And they will be.

But I wish someone would tell me the dang “formula” so I can quickly and easily complete my task. LOL!

Susan may smack her then. Sounds like Ms. SG is in the right state of mind (and stage of a book) to haul off with a good wallop.

Unless, of course, your reaction is a result of said revisions. After all, you’ve made comments that indicate formula might be a dirty word…

However, much as it pains us to say this, the author of the article was not male. Shocking but true. Your disappointment was as great as ours.
