Just logged into my writing email for the first time this year in order to back up my novel for the first time and although I'm a little late, I just have to say THANK YOU!
I loved the Princess Bride analogy, it makes so much sense.
I've been wrestling with my inner Fred Savage all week, so I guess the pep talk couldn't have come at a better time for me.
*Offers thick coffee and snicker doodles in gratitude*

You're welcome, and thank you for replying. I think I may adopt "my Inner Fred Savage" as the new nick for the Internal Editor. I can totally handle a sick, whiny kid. ;)

Haha, he's been stuck in my mind since I read that.
I keep going "Damn, I'm being Savaged again!" as I drum my fingers and glare at the empty place were the next paragraph should go.

Where did I put my Nyquil? There's got to be an easy way to knock him out.
