Albatross #1 is off my neck! And I didn't have to kill anyone to make that happen. Huzzah! Despite attempts to buzzkill in the comments, I am unafeared of the torture of reviewers. This is sort of a weird manuscript/submission circumstance which I think/hope will circumvent a lot of reviewer quibbling. Fingers crossed on that.
Now for Albatross #2, which I thought was ready to go, but now GrAdvisor says it's way too long and this will piss off the reviewers. Last draft was "too short". I am feeling like this is very subjective, which is the nature of the review and editing process, I am well aware. However, some objective criteria would be much more helpful and result in a more expedient submission of the fracking thing.

woho! And take some rest before tackling the second bird... it's funny, that whole "too short" and "too long" discussion. Never easy is it?!
I can't help, but sure can commiserate! Hoping to get one of my own out the door in the next week or so...
Although, now I think naming my "problems" might be a highly entertaining decision... :)
Good luck!
Wooty woot yay yay!
Begone albatrosses! Back to the pit of despair where you belong.
(that's kinda like mixing metaphors, but rather mixing old poems and newer movies. Ok, I'll stop babbling now.)
