Editing Letter

[TealMay]

Yeah, I hate editing, too. Sometimes I really like everything I wrote down, and it's hard to decide what to keep and what to toss. Great job! This is from A.Y.

[NightSky777]

Lara, THAT was SO CREATIVE !! You did a FANTASTIC job on even "editing" this video. Absolutely Loved the Lyric re-write! Shows a great sense of humor ! Blessings to you on all your continued sagas and endeavors. : )

Download over 300 video and audio editing tools from one SINGLE ftp for free. Just google for Aries-Films and see how many great video plugins, sound effects and programs out there

[bhoney319]

This was hilarious!!

[kbullock27]

This is great! Gotta tell ya, you'll not find a lot of sympathy here. I wanna be in YOUR shoes. Perhaps you can follow up with a "Rejection Letter" video for all the authors still on the quest for publishing glory.

[Csharise2010]

AMEN......

[persianlilly]

your videos are hilarious. can't wait to read the book!

[whispering2009]

As I am an editor, I'd always suspected my letters were received just this way! Very funny, anyway, great job!

[TheTuberRose]

Congrats on your first title! Just wait until you're in promotion mode.

Your video inspired me to make my own karaoke-style plea. :-D

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed yours!

[jmackinday]

Great work! Your video was exactly what I needed this morning to brighten my day. Congratulations on your upcoming title. I can't wait to read it!

[missxradio]

I'm just thrilled that the marketing person for the publisher is sending me a comp copy! They are busy and took the time, yay.

[TheTuberRose]

This is brilliant! :-D

[keirgraff]

Very funny!

(All the same, I'm glad to hear some publishers are still editing their authors.)

[vlogbrothers]

We are psyched to have you on the Penguin team.

Brilliant.

You said it all! Congrats on the new book!

[AMangyCat]

That was adorable! Great work, Laura! And what a crafty way to promote your next book. ;o)

[Hywelalyn]

I can SO relate to this! Congrats on having finally got rid of the editing letter - until the next time! It really made me laugh. This time six months ago I wasn't laughing though, I was editing! But all the editing emails were worth it!

[olam4ever]

I've been caught by that editing letter, too, and you've said it all! Thanks for the laugh!

[catherinefelt]

Haha! THANK YOU. I am in the middle of revision and this is really encouraging. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one banging my head against a wall.

[MarieRoyNovelist]

I'm half way through my editing. Gee, I hope this doesn't happen. :) Great job!

LOL, Lara. Looking forward to checking out your website and reading your book. I've had more of these "letters" than I ever wanted to see, so I can relate!

[DukeEastway]

Excellently done, Lara, had me laughing out loud. As a videographer I can appreciate the cinematography and (video) editing . Brilliant piece of marketing too.

That is AMAZING. And ohgodI'mscared of my next editing letter...... (Just finished draft 1 of book 2 yesterday.... SO much more work to do.) You rock!

[lpdb58]

Ah. Yes. Now if the editors would only send their editing letters to karaoke music...I think you'd be onto something!

Nice VH1 style too...and yeah, they NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE! I love the big editing letter following you around. Who IS that?

[CheyMcCray]

This hits it right on the keyboard. LOL. Loved it!

[gypsygurla]
