Ok, the *best* part of doing line edits is finding the smilies and hearts that my editor leaves in the margins, especially when she puts them next to bits that I particularly like. My seduction scene here has not just a smiley, not just a heart, but a smiley surrounded by *two* hearts. *silly giggles*

I must also confess that when she said AUGH REWRITE THE END that writing a totally happily-ever-after ending was...really fun. I actually grinned like an idiot all the way through writing it. Even just seeing the last few lines when I pulled out the manuscript to edit it made me beam stupidly.

This job doesn't suck. :)
