I suppose as you say Pat . Of course the main thing is to be come famous first and then you can write any old rubbish. 'Such as if you have a lot of guests for Christmas buy a turkey, if you are by yourself a pot of turkey and ham paste is fine.' So my advice would be to run starkers down the high street once or twice to become recognized .

i do agree that dragging it out just to make pages is silly and destructive.
Thank you for a great answer.

What you write makes a lot of sense to me.

Revision will take a few tucks and add some gussets
and then an editor whose publisher cares most about sales, will have a few suggestions to add and reduce, too. But never throw away the book of your heart, the one you wrote first, and chose your own revisions.
