... I merely wanted to ADD that I've had two PHENOMENALLY productive online-meetings with my main editor.
(Yes, I have multiple editors for AAALL my content.)
Anyway, this "main editor" agreed with my Speech Pathologist-mother, that the plots of my mystery novels tend to become "excessively wordy & overly complicated." I am here to defend myself, as I am physiologically programmed to attempt to PROVE--in any & all ways[S]--that I am NOT a brain-damaged moron.
(Well, technically, I am the former adjective.)
