Since most of the names in this are a bit 'off' Like Bightly Slent comes from Slightly Bent etc. I need names for most of the characters. Any ideas?

Badly explained, I need names which are NOT odd ones. So Bightly Slent will become Brindley Slent and Sid Solly will be Tom Solly etc.

Done. Very useful little book with lots of boys and girls names in it.
Changed story title to "The Doom Grogger." as well. Now I just need a picture for the book cover.

Back to the Doom Grogger. Editor points out that cheating husbands and wives may not be a proper inclusion in a childrens book, so need some thing innocuous to replace this paragraph.
For instance, he knew exactly who
was cheating on their wives and with
whom. He knew whose wives were
cheating on their husbands and with
whom.

Perhaps on the money front, husbands not telling how much they really earn and wives scrimping on the budget to save money for themselves.

he knew who declared they had 6 piglets when they had 8, and who paid less taxes than they should.

Gone back to the editor after proofreading again. Found two glaring errors where a character's name had changed. Whoops!

Book arrived. Really pleased with it. Now am I cheeky enough to send another Ms to the editor?

Yes! Of course! It's their job! Not really. His job is designing microchips, Book editing is as a favour to me. |
