one of my editors sent this email to his freelancers, in response to my harping on everyone (for, like, the fourth time, mind you) about review length. it's official, i'm now a bitch.

Subject: FW: review length, yet again

Hi Freelancers,

Vexation from Ara Jane about the length of reviews and descriptions. A quick check of yours (collectively) showed typical lengths of about 150 - 250 words, which is perfect. So really, the only reason I'm forwarding this is (1) to remind you to check word length in the future and (2) it's fun to read Ara Jane's email when she's tired and irritated.

Thanks, [xxxxxx]

what a riot! i shouldn't be surprised though, given that in my original email i actually used the phrase, "for the love of god."
