Defenestration to Blame for Global Cooling?
» S.D. Smith

After reading a particular portion of my novel my agent expressed an intense wish to defenestrate me.

That’s the kind of thing that happens when your agent has a fancy Ph.D.

To be fair, he was so very right about the section. Snip snip.

Note: Sure, it sounds great and all to have a learned agent, but I was literally raised in a “holler.”

  “Snip snip?” Don’t know what defenestrate is. I know about hollers and am currently experiencing global cooling, but I am unfamiliar with whatever defenestration is. Sounds personal.

  Sorry, mKhulu, if you click on the link of the word, it will take you to an explanation.

  I had no idea either.

  Snipping it meant I cut that section.

  Jodi, steal away. That’s all I ever do. I am like a mockingbird…etc.
