This is Mad Editing Week. Seven days, 100,000 words. Today I’m on Day 2: Die, adjectives, die!
Just so you know why I may post irregularly.

- I write thrillers. Both my Jo Beckett and Evan Delaney series take place in California, where I’ve spent most of my life. Now I live near London, England, and invent stories about the place I came from. Read here about the writing life and the lies that pay my bills.

Sounds like ugly work, best done by the zany and yet diligent Meg.
[edit]
Sounds like work.
Gold star, Glenn.
Seven days! Egads!
Exclamation marks are on my hit list, too.
Here’s something to help you get over the stress of the week (and back up your draft to): http://www.mymemory.co.uk/USB-Flash-Drives/Paramount-Pictures/Star-Trek-%282009%29-Movie-4GB-USB-Flash-Drive
And it’s full of Enterprising goodness!
Why not the adverbs, Meg?
One thing at a time.
Day 1 – adverbs. Day 2 – adjectives. Day 3 – conjunctions. Day 4 – articles. Day 5 – prepositions. Day 6 – personal pronouns. Day 7 – dangling participles.
Look for the new Meg Gardiner thriller: “Jo. Evan. Boom.”
Best of luck during your recovery in that special jacket, Meg.
