The Land of Editing

As I promised, here is a picture of sweet Rose!!

Her first snow with us!!

Three weeks. That is approximately how much time which was required to travel through the Land of Editing regarding Little Miss Secretive Writing Project. Three freakin' weeks!! And, my editing journey is not yet finished!! Sigh.... It turns out, Little Miss Secretive Writing Project is even more strong-willed than "her" owner!! How so? Because, although I predicted having Little Miss Secretive Writing Project complete yesterday, think again. But I have a strong feeling that the three-week mark looks promising!! {That would be today for those who are not following along with this!!} Wow, a lot has occurred in just three weeks. A lot. Life most certainly did not stand still for Little Miss Secretive Writing Project's editing process!! I followed Robert Downey Jr. through his international "Iron Man 3" tour. Which was a lot of fun, by the way!! I caught and recovered from some nasty head cold. Which made me miserable!! {Yes, I strolled through the Land of Editing with a head cold!! Why? Because I am insane!!} And, lastly, Boston was attacked. America was attacked. Couldn't life have just stood still for Little Miss Secretive Writing Project?

Alright. Back to the Land of Editing.

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

Raelyn:

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
