spaceheaters and the tango

i feel much better today.

jesus author has conceded. hooray!

she is removing naked scenes and inappropriate euphemisms. i'm stoked on that.

yesterday was pretty much one of the most embarrassing things, and i don't even get embarassed a lot.

i had to read aloud and explain the sexual tone of a particular racy passage. keep in mind, this lady is probably 50, a super sweet christian, and she just couldn't wrap her jesus brain around why the word arrangement resulted in a lewd result. to her, fantasizing about jesus is a-okay. i agree to disagree.

after deconstructing and getting down to the basics of sex and orgasms, i felt a little dirty but relieved that she knew how i felt and how her readership would feel.

i KNOW she didn't want her tone to be that of raunch, so, she's made changes that greatly improve her manuscript. huzzah.
