Pastor Patty is having trouble concentrating on her sermon on The Prodigal Son for tomorrow. She is waiting to hear from Super-agent Phyllis Ethridge, to see if she will represent Pastor Patty's book, "The Preacher Wore Scarlet [But Only on Pentecost]."
Pastor Patty "tightened" the manuscript as much as she could. Her experience with editors is that they always want fewer words. She wrote a piece once for an independent Christian periodical, "The Lost Century." Three times editor James Floor sent it back, telling her to make it shorter. As a half-joke, half-complaint, she returned it to him with only one word.
Floor replied, "This is much better, but can you find a shorter word?"
