Howdy all,
I'll post something a bit more substantive once I'm fully awake in an hour or two, but in the meantime here's another episode of Miss Snark's smart things about writing.

Synopsis minutia and line spacing.
When you can write requested material on a manuscript. Hint, only if the person requesting it tells you to.
