In writing news, I just received the line-edited manuscript from my editor. Apparently I am rather limited in my ability to convey embarrassment. Several times in my book I describe the main character feeling heat rising into her cheeks. Each time my editor oh-so-gently penciled the words “hot cheeks” in the margin, and I came up with new and varied ways of describing humiliation.

However, now, I can’t stop thinking that hot cheeks sounds like a rather frisky nickname, as in
“How do you like my book, hot cheeks?”

Could I say that to a reviewer, or would that be cheeky? (I know, but I couldn’t resist.)

  1. Hey, hot cheeks, I think you’ve identified a common problem…and there’s the churning stomach, too (although Churning Stomach isn’t as cute a nickname…)Good luck with your line revisions! How incredibly exciting!

  2. yes, hot cheeks, churning stomach, eye rolling, shoulder shrugging the list goes on and on and then it repeats ad infinitum
