In all the years I've been working on a single novel I've done a lot of research. That's one of the fun things -- you can learn things -- for a purpose. The best way.

I just edited a friend's novel and here's what she said: I just want to thank you for your careful reading, the very valuable suggestions and editing, and your enthusiastic support for the story as a whole. You're the best! The novel is going to be much improved as a result.
