Seeing Green

I'm sitting here trying to decide whether it's a good thing that my manuscript pages appear to be bleeding green ink. Could it be I'm trying to rewrite the darned thing a third time?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In other words, I'm editing my way through the new box of green pens. See, all I needed was for March to show up. Have a fantabulous weekend, my friends!

Apply a tourniquet approximately 2-3 inches above the cut and tighten until the bleeding stops. Loosen slightly every 30 minutes. :)

Have a great weekend yourself!!

Bleeding green ink!? See, that's why you were smart and bought an entire box of pens instead of just one or two :)

Wow. Good luck with your green editing. Ha ha ha. Have a great weekend. :-)

Writing green = bleeding green = cashing green. And just think, if you used red editing pens, it would look like your manuscript was bleeding. Now it just looks lucky. Good thinking!

Perfect selection of pen color! Draw an occasional shamrock in the side column to keep your thoughts cheerful. Hooray for March! It's the month of successful editing!

Green is a great color. So are purple, orange, and pink. :) I never use red when grading or editing. I read somewhere it was too depressing. :) Good luck with the editing and try to have a good weekend.

But see you're getting closer! I bet green is your new favorite color. Or your least favorite. Depending on how you look at it.Good luck, it will be wonderful!

You obviously like the color green, which happens to be one of my two favorites (the other being violet). On that note, I'd like to say I like the graphics and presentation of your blog page. Go green! (And I'm not being environmentally conscious here, just a girly girl admiring color.)

Sounds like an interesting addiction to me.

That was quite clever with the quip about March and your green pens. ;) Best of luck!

I like the idea of using green pens. I'm kind of sick of seeing red. :)

Excellent idea on a whole box of pens! Hope you had fun bleeding green ink!!!
